Answer:

The probability that the sample mean is greater than 2.1 but less than 2.6 is 0.2236.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a discrete uniform distribution.

The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is:

f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{3}};\ x=1,2,3 \atop {0;\ \text{otherwise}}} \right.

Then,

a = 1

b = 3

The mean and standard deviation of the random variable <em>X</em> are:

\mu=\frac{b+a}{2}=\frac{3+1}{2}=2\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(b-a+1)^{2}-1}{12}}=\sqrt{\frac{(3-1+1)^{2}-1}{12}}=0.8165

The sample size is, <em>n</em> = 39.

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have an unknown population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed.  

Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu

And the standard deviation of the sample means is given by,

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

As <em>n</em> = 39 > 30, the sampling distribution of sample mean of <em>X</em> will follow a Normal distribution approximately.

Compute the probability that the sample mean is greater than 2.1 but less than 2.6 as follows:

P(2.1

                          =P(0.76

Thus, the probability that the sample mean is greater than 2.1 but less than 2.6 is 0.2236.

The height of a cone is twice the radius of its base.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

⅔πx³

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is

V = ⅓πr²h

    Let x = radius of base.

Then 2x = height, and

V = ⅓πx²·2x = ⅔πx³
