Sampling distribution - approximately normal?
If the population distribution is skewed to the left, the mean is 25,000 and the standard deviation is 2,500 and the randomly selected n=100, would the sampling distribution of the sample mean be approximately normal or skewed to the left with a mean of $25,000 and standard deviation of 250 (2,500/√100)? It seems to me that it should be approximately normal due to the large size of the sample. Thank you.
