> suppose that a large sample of observations is obtained, each observation being randomly produced in a way that does not depend on the values of the other observations, and the average (arithmetic mean) of the observed values is computed. If this procedure is performed many times, resulting in a collection of observed averages, the central limit theorem says that if the sample size is large enough, the probability distribution of these averages will closely approximate a normal distribution.
- abetusk 7mo agoThat sentence is flat out wrong. If the probability distribution converges, it converges to a Levy stable distribution [0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_distribution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_distribution
