Visualizing sampling distributions

Now let's check your understanding of how the central limit theorem applies to different distributions!

The app lets you select a source distribution (discrete uniform, continuous uniform, binomial, or exponential), set a sample size, and generate a sampling distribution of means. Notice how the shape of the sampling distribution compares to the source distribution.

Try each source distribution with a sample size of 30 and 500+ samples. Observe the shape of the resulting sampling distribution.

Which distribution does the central limit theorem apply to?
