finding the probability that the mean is between (a) and (b) for a generated sample "nsamples" of sample size "n" from u(a,b)..
just need to find that.. If anyone is interested I may have a few more questions as well, thanks...

Try this
theProbability = sum(nsamples > a & nsamples < b) / n;

The probabiliy is 1 since the arithmetic mean of n numbers between a and b is also between a and b.
