Central Limit Theorem: When Sample Size Is Large ( 30), The Average of
Central limit theorem: When sample size is large (≥30), the average of
a set of independent identically distributed random variables ( 𝑋̅ ) is
always approximately normally distributed with mean population mean
and variance population variance divided by sample size. i.e
