Key Concepts

Central Limit Theorem

A fundamental theorem stating that the sampling distribution of the sample mean approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases, regardless of the shape of the population distribution. This theorem justifies the use of normal probability models in many sampling situations.

Standard Error

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic, most commonly the sample mean. It is calculated as the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size, reflecting how sample means tend to vary around the population mean.

Z-Score

A standardized value calculated by subtracting the mean from an individual value and then dividing by the standard deviation. The Z-score allows for the conversion of any normal distribution to the standard normal distribution, enabling easy probability look-up.

Normal Distribution

A probability distribution characterized by its symmetric, bell-shaped curve, defined by its mean and standard deviation. It is used to model many naturally occurring phenomena and serves as the basis for many statistical analyses.
