The Central Limit Theorem

This visualization demonstrates the De Moivre–Laplace theorem, a special case of the Central Limit Theorem. It states that as the number of trials n increases, the probability mass function of the Binomial distribution converges to the probability density function of the Normal (Gaussian) distribution.

Mathematical Relationship

Binomial: P(k) = ⁿCₖ pᵏ(1-p)ⁿ⁻ᵏ

Gaussian: f(x) ≈ e-x²

Notation: ⁿCᵣ = ( n r )
