Result R5238 on D210: Gaussian random real number
Subresult of R5231: Sample mean of uncorrelated gaussian random real numbers is a gaussian random real number
Sample mean of uncorrelated identically distributed gaussian random real numbers is a gaussian random real number
Formulation 0
Let $X_1, \ldots, X_N \in \text{Gaussian}(\mu, \sigma^2)$ each be a D210: Gaussian random real number such that
(i) $X_1, \ldots, X_N$ is an D3842: Uncorrelated random collection
Then \begin{equation} \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n = 1}^N X_n \overset{d}{=} \text{Gaussian} \left( \mu, \frac{\sigma^2}{N} \right) \end{equation}
