    I have a masters in math, I know what the theorem is, I just don’t see how the phrase “Central Limit Theorem” forms a coherent point in this context. What about the theorem?

      It is where you would look to understand why “the average president had 2 felonies” is not a statement that holds efficacy. Maybe.

      Congrats on the tuition paid. Maybe should have taken a few more english/lit/humanities courses. Buffed up that critical thinking.

        That’s not the context. The context is someone pointing out that there are different measures of central tendency that can be referred to as “average.” The response was “Central Limit Theorem”. Not particularly coherent… especially since the central limit theorem has nothing to do with it.

        I didn’t pay tuition. I earned a stipend and had my tuition waived like most math grad students. But pop off, dipshit.
