The shape of the distribution of sample means is always that of an approximately normal distribution. T-F, Why or why not?
ans:
why: Central Limit Theorem (CLT):
the distribution of sample means will be approximately normal as long as the sample size is (means )
as the sample size n gets large, the shape of the distribution will converge to a shape that is nearly normal
