CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM

At the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

a.     illustrate Central Limit Theorem (CLT);

b.     apply Central Limit Theorem (CLT) in solving real-life word problems, and

c.      show appreciation on the relevance of Central Limit Theorem (CLT) in real-life setting.

The principle that the distribution of sample means approximates a normal distribution as the sample size gets larger, regardless of the population's distribution.

CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM

QUICK TIP!

A nutritionist is studying the average fat intake in a city. From previous survey, the average daily fat intake for adults is 80 grams, with standard deviation of 15 grams. The nutritionist decides to take a random sample of 38 adults to estimate the average fat intake for the population. What is the probability that the average fat intake for the sample of 38 will exceed 85 grams?

Illustrative Example 1:

Let us practice our problem solving skills.
