A theorem telling us that when the sample size n is sufficiently large, then the population of all possible sample means is approximately normally distributed no matter what probability distribution describes the sampled population. (page 238)

| centrifugal force |
The apparent force in a rotating system, deflecting masses radially outward from the axis of rotation, with magnitude per unit mass 2 R, where is the angular speed of rotation and R is the radius of curvature of the path. This magnitude may also be written as V 2 /R, in terms of the linear speed V. This force (per unit mass) is equal and opposite to the centripetal acceleration. ...

| centripetal acceleration |
The acceleration on a particle moving in a curved path, directed toward the instantaneous center of curvature of the path, with magnitude V 2 /R, where V is the speed of the particle and R the radius of curvature of the path. This acceleration is equal and opposite to the centrifugal force per unit mass.
