Answer

The statement is False.

Work Step by Step

The statement is False. Since, the average value of a function $f $ on the interval $[a,b]$ is $$ \frac{1}{b-a}\int_{a}^{b} f(x)dx $$ So, the average value of the function $2x^{2}+3 $ on $[1,4]$ is $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{4-1}\int_{1}^{4} ( 2x^{2}+3 )dx &=\frac{1}{3}\int_{1}^{4} ( 2x^{2}+3 )dx.\\ & \ne \frac{1}{3}\int_{1}^{4} \pi ( 2x^{2}+3 )dx \end{aligned} $$ Therefore, the statement is False.
