Central Limit Theorem (CLT)
It states in part, that as sample size increases,
the sampling distribution of the mean
approaches the normal distribution provided that
the sampling is random.

located on both ends of the distribution.

“ There are two possible outcomes:
if the result confirms the hypothesis,
then you've made a measurement.
If the result is contrary to the
hypothesis, then you've made a
discovery.”
~ Enrico Fermi
