This document discusses key results related to probability distributions that can be used when solving problems. It outlines that the sum of independent random variables has a normal distribution if the individual variables have normal distributions, and the sum of independent random variables has a Poisson distribution if the individual variables have Poisson distributions.

Learning outcomes: • use, when solving problems, the results that o and
o for independent and
o if has a normal distribution then so does o if and have independent normal distributions then has a normal distribution o if and have independent Poisson distributions then has a Poisson distribution.
