CLT description seems off

ed1d1a8d opened this issue · comments

The following description of the CLT seems a little off:

<d-footnote>
One of the implications of this theorem is that a collection of independent, identically distributed random variables with finite variance are together distributed normally.
A good introduction to the central limit theorem is given by <a
href="https://www.khanacademy.org/math/ap-statistics/sampling-distribution-ap/sampling-distribution-mean/v/central-limit-theorem"
target="_blank">this video</a> from <a href="https://www.khanacademy.org" target="_blank">Khan Academy</a>.
</d-footnote>.

Instead of saying "are together distributed normally", I think it would be better to say "have a mean that is distributed normally".
