Central Limit Theorem - Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org ![rw-book-cover|200x400](https://readwise-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/static/images/article4.6bc1851654a0.png) ## Metadata - Author: **en.wikipedia.org** - Full Title: Central Limit Theorem - Wikipedia - Category: #articles - URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_limit_theorem ## Highlights - In probability theory, the central limit theorem (CLT) establishes that, in many situations, when independent random variables are summed up, their properly normalized sum tends toward a normal distribution even if the original variables themselves are not normally distributed. The theorem is a key concept in probability theory because it implies that probabilistic and statistical methods that work for normal distributions can be applicable to many problems involving other types of distributions. - Tags: #mathematic #probability
