Agreed, learned more, was wrong, deleted comment. Curious though—doesn't the CLT apply to this distribution too, technically? Isn't the binomial distribution being sampled and converging on a normal distribution, as per the CLT? Maybe some more explanation would enlighten us.
- Jabbles 13y agoYes, this is definitely a special case of CLT. For instance, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Moivre%E2%80%93Laplace_theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Moivre%E2%80%93Laplace_theo...
- mturmon 13y agoSure, but the CLT holds in very great generality -- to variables that are not independent, and to stochastic processes. Any demonstration is bound to be a special case.
