There are several transforms or generating functions used in mathematics, probabilityand statistics. The central limit theorem for sums says that if you keep drawing larger and larger samples and taking their sums, the sums form their own normal distribution the sampling distribution, which approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases. The stress scores follow a uniform distribution with the lowest stress score equal to one and the highest equal to five. Regardless of the population distribution model, as the sample size increases, the sample mean tends to be normally distributed around the population mean, and its standard deviation shrinks as n increases.

The central limit theorem clt is a theory that claims that the distribution of sample means calculated from resampling will tend to normal, as the size of the sample increases, regardless of the shape of the population distribution. In probability theory, the central limit theorem establishes that, in some situations, when independent random variables are added, their properly normalized sum tends toward a normal distribution even if the original variables themselves are not normally distributed.
