Independent and identically distributed random variables: Revision history

10 February 2025

• curprev 18:5118:51, 10 February 2025 George7042 talk contribs 13,969 bytes −126 Summarising the central limit theorm as "for a large number of observable samples, the sum of many random variables will have an approximately normal distribution" may lead someone to erroneously believe this is a full description of the CLT. To resolve this, one could change the statement to say "under appropriate conditions, for a large number of observable samples, the sum of many random variables will have an approximately normal distribution". However, this is too long, hence removing it. undo
