statistics - Karol Flisikowski Central Limit Theorem The key to the behavior of x-bar is the central limit theorem. It says: Suppose the population has mean‚ m‚ and standard deviation s. Then‚ if the sample size‚ n‚ is large enough‚ the distribution of the sample mean‚ x-bar will have a normal shape‚ the center will be the mean of the original population‚ m‚ and the standard deviation of the x-bars will be s divided by the square root of n.
