Central Limit Theorem: A sampling distribution of the mean is approximately normally distributed if the sample size is sufficiently large. This is true no matter what the population distribution is.

Example 1: The population from which samples are selected is {1,2,3,4,5,6}. This population has a mean of 3.5 and a standard deviation of 1.70783. The next display shows a histogram of the population.

The Central Limit Theorem is a statistical concept applied to large data distributions. It says that as you randomly sample data from a distribution, the means and standard deviations of the samples ...
