Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central limit theorem states that as sample size increases, the sampling distribution of the sample means becomes approximately normal, regardless of the shape of the population distribution. Therefore, a normal probability distribution can be used to approximate the sampling distribution of the sample means and population mean.
