Question 1138469: The Central Limit Theorem says

A. When n<30, the sampling distribution of x¯¯¯ will be approximately a normal distribution.
B. When n<30, the original population will be approximately a normal distribution.
C. When n>30, the sampling distribution of x¯¯¯ will be approximately a normal distribution.
D. When n>30, the original population will be approximately a normal distribution.
E. None of the above

Always want as big a sample size as possible, so only C and D are possibilities.
The population's distribution is what it is, and sampling doesn't change it, so D is not correct.
C is correct in this instance, although sometimes n needs to be a lot larger than 30 to truly treat the sample as normally distributed.
