A scheme of random number generator is described as follows. First, one generates a normal random number with mean 0 and variance 16, a uniform random number on [0,24], then a geometric random number of parameter p = 0.25 (each independently). Then we define the random number to be the average of these three numbers. 30 random numbers are generated with the scheme above, denoted as {X}31. Estimate/approximate the probability that the average 1 X is deviated from μ = E[X₁] by a distance of more than 0.2 using: (a) Chebyshev's inequality; (b) central limit theorem. k=1
