Default Re: Standard Deviation Question

Also you're obviously not familiar with the phrase 'by no means'.

And I don't know which argument you want to 'prove' here - that most distributions aren't normal? That's a pretty obvious fact. That most distributions don't converge to a normal distribution?

The CLT states sth. like: The normalized sum of independent identically distributed random variables converges to a normally distributed random variable.
