1. True or false? If a sample size is large, then the shape of a histogram of the sample will be approximately normal, even if the population distribution is not normal. 2. True or false? If a sample size is large, then the shape of the sampling distribution of the average will be approximately normal, even if the population distribution is not normal. 3. True or false? A sample histogram will have a normal distribution if the sample size is large enough.
True or false The sampling distribution of the sample mean is approximately normal even when the distribution of the population is not normal when the sample size is greater than 30.
