Central Limit Theorem for probability and statistics

855 Views Asked by At

In the book Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences 8th edition by Devore, the Central Limit Theorem is the following:

CLT

This theorem says that $\mu_\bar X = \mu$ , and $\sigma_\bar X ^{2} = \sigma ^2 /n$. Right after that it says $\mu_ {T_0} = n\mu$, and $\sigma_ {T_0} ^{2} = n\sigma ^2$.

What does $T_0$ mean and why are there two different ways to find $\mu$ and $\sigma$? I was using this in a couple of problems and couldn't figure out which to use. Which situations would I use the first rather than the latter?

From their conclusion, I would assume that $T_0 := n\bar{X}$. Then \begin{align*} \mu_{T_0} &= \mathrm{E}[n\bar{X}] = n\mu \\ \sigma_{T_0}^2 &= \mathrm{Var}[n\bar{X}] = n^2 \frac{\sigma^2}{n} = n\sigma^2. \end{align*}
