Assuming is measurable, applying it separately to independent and identically distributed random variables preserves those properties. Thus have common mean and variance . For , the central limit theorem gives
Hence, for large , the approximate probability distribution is
The second argument is the variance. If , this sample mean equals almost surely, so the appropriate description is a point mass at .
