1. The CLT provides an approximate sampling distribution for the arithmetic average Ỹ of a
random sample Y₁, . . ., Yn f(y). The parameters of the approximate sampling distribution
depend on the mean and variance of the underlying random variables (i.e., the population
mean and variance). The approximation can be written to emphasize this, using the expec-
tation and variance of one of the random variables in the sample instead of the parameters
