A particularly useful example of the Central Limit Theorem is when
we are sampling from a 0-1 population. In this case, the number
of 1's observed has the binomial distribution which is difficult
to make calculations from. But notice that
for the
sample is in fact the sample proportion p and the Central
Limit Theorem says that
is approximately normal with
mean equal to the mean of the 0-1 population (also known as
, the
proportion of 1's in the population) and variance
.
