If the population distribution is unknown,in most cases the sampling distribution of the mean can be approximated by the normal distribution if the samples contain at least 30 observations.

Population Distribution

A term that describes how the values of a variable are distributed across an entire population.

Sampling Distribution

The probability distribution of a given statistic based on a random sample.

Normal Distribution

A bell-shaped curve distribution that is symmetrical around the mean, where the bulk of the values lie near the center and it tails off towards the extremes.

  • Apprehend the essential concepts of the central limit theorem and its consequences on the distribution patterns of sample means.
