Question

Q2. Suppose that the random variable X has the continuous uniform distribution with probability density function \begin{equation} f(x) = \begin{cases} 1, & 0 \le x \le 1 \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \end{equation}Suppose that a random sample of size $n=15$ is selected from this distribution. Assume the sample mean is $\bar{x}$. a) What is the approximate probability distribution of $\bar{x} - 6$? b) What is the mean and variance of $\bar{x} - 6$?

Q2. Suppose that the random variable X has the continuous uniform distribution with probability density function

f(x) = 1, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1
0, otherwise
Suppose that a random sample of size n=15 is selected from this distribution. Assume the sample mean is x̅.
a) What is the approximate probability distribution of x̅ - 6?
b) What is the mean and variance of x̅ - 6?

Q2. Suppose that the random variable X has the continuous uniform distribution with probability density function $$f(x) = \begin{cases} 1, & 0 \le x \le 1 \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ Suppose that a random sample of size $n=15$ is selected from this distribution. Assume the sample mean is $\bar{x}$. a) What is the approximate probability distribution of $\bar{x}-6$? b) What is the mean and variance of $\bar{x}-6$?
