What does the Central Limit Theorem state about the sample mean?

a: The sample mean will always equal the population mean. Explanation

Explanation

b: The sample mean follows the same distribution as the population distribution. Explanation

Explanation

c: The distribution of the sample mean approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases. Explanation

Explanation

d: The sample mean has a variance larger than the population variance. Explanation

Explanation

Which of the following conditions must be satisfied for the CLT to hold?

a: The population must be normally distributed. Explanation

Explanation

b: The sample size must be sufficiently large. Explanation

Explanation

c: The random variables must be independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.). Explanation

Explanation

d: Both b and c. Explanation
