A hint to get started
Find a repeat-draw distribution and approximate its sample mean
A bag has three identically shaped balls numbered 1,2,3. Draw one at a time at random with replacement. Let be the number of draws until any ball is drawn a second time; matching draws need not be consecutive.
(i) Show and find the distribution of . marks
(ii) Show and find exact . marks
(iii) Using a suitable approximation, find the probability that the mean of 44 independent observations exceeds 3. marks

A repeat is guaranteed by the fourth draw; matching draws need not be adjacent.
