Q

central limit theorem

A

stipulates that a distribution of means will be closer to a normal distribution than distribution of individual scores, even if that’s not seen in the population

Q

2 principles demonstrated by the theorem

A

distribution of means is less variable; repeated sampling approximates a normal distribution even when population is not normally distributed
