ABSTRACT

In this article we show how the graphing calculator can be used to introduce the Central Limit Theorem of Probability and Statistics to the students. We start by giving the history and motivation behind the Central Limit Theorem. We give several examples related to the CLT and finally a TI-83 program demonstrates the CLT. The TI-83 program selects 30 integers between one and six computes the mean and stores it in a list. It rep...
