The central limit theorem states that regardless of the population distribution, as the sample size increases, the sampling distribution of the mean approaches a normal distribution. Therefore, the sampling distribution of means is a normal or near-normal distribution for any sample size as long as the population distribution is normal.

Whenever the Population Has a Normal Distribution,the Sampling Distribution of Is
