Transcript text: Select the appropriate word or phrase to complete the sentence.
(Choose one)
states that the sampling distribution of $\bar{x}$ is approximately normal when the sample is large.
Solution
Solution Steps
The question seems to be related to a statistical concept. The statement is likely referring to the Central Limit Theorem, which states that the sampling distribution of the sample mean \(\bar{x}\) is approximately normal when the sample size is large, regardless of the shape of the population distribution.
Step 1: Understand the Question
The question is asking for a word or phrase that completes the sentence: "______ states that the sampling distribution of \(\bar{x}\) is approximately normal when the sample is large."
Step 2: Identify the Concept
The concept being referred to in the sentence is a fundamental theorem in statistics that describes the behavior of sample means. This theorem is known as the Central Limit Theorem (CLT).
Step 3: Apply the Concept
The Central Limit Theorem states that the sampling distribution of the sample mean \(\bar{x}\) will be approximately normally distributed, regardless of the shape of the population distribution, provided the sample size is sufficiently large.
Final Answer
The answer is: \(\boxed{\text{Central Limit Theorem}}\)
