Improving Conceptions in Analytical Chemistry: The Central Limit Theorem
Rodriguez-Lopez, Margarita; Carrasquillo, Arnaldo, Jr.
Journal of Chemical Education, v83 n11 p1645-1648 Nov 2006
This article describes the central limit theorem (CLT) and its relation to analytical chemistry. The pedagogic rational, which argues for teaching the CLT in the analytical chemistry classroom, is discussed. Some analytical chemistry concepts that could be improved through an understanding of the CLT are also described. (Contains 2 figures.)
