17. POPULATION – It refers to the entire group that is under study or investigation.
18. There are many events in real life that generate random variables that have the natural tendency to approximate the shape of a BELL.
19. A researcher randomly selected a sample of 1000 people in a Barangay, 143 are asked if they used a certain coffee product and 40% of them said yes. The case

31. EXPECTED VALUE - The mean of the sample mean
32. The Central Limit Theorem is important for statistics because it allows us to safely assume that the sampling distribution of the mean will be NORMAL in most
cases.
33. The Central Limit Theorem says that the sampling distribution of the sample mean is approximately normal if THE SAMPLE SIZE IS LARGE.
