Hm, hope I didn't make that subject to complex, resulting in zero replies. But hopefully you can answer this: I have a N(20,5) distribution and based on that I generated 25 values using Minitab and the CalcRandom dataNormal function. The result yielded a mean of 19,083 and a standard deviation

Robert: even when N=20, a uniform distribution can be treated as normal for most purposes. I assume you meant to say that for N=20, the sample mean based on a random sample from a uniform distribution can be assumed to have a normal distribution for most purposes. Right? Jon Cryer At 01:16
