Chapter 10: Sampling Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem

Figure 10-15:

Histogram for simulated sample means

We can investigate with other sample sizes. However, we will generally

observe the same properties when the sample size is “large enough”

(

n

30). We can generalize the observations in a very important theorem

called the

Central Limit Theoremfor Sample Means

. This theorem is

given in

Table 10-6

.
