Central Limit Theorem

April 11, 2026 ·

Giving this thing called Google Colab a go, and comparing them to Mathematica in terms of how they both embed on this website. Let's see how they work. The idea is to have widgets that showcase the Central Limit Theorem with configurable sample sizes.

Mathematica embeddings were messy so I took that off. Instead I took the Python notebook in Colab and hosted it on Hugging Face, then embedded it here. Cool concept, Colab. Anyway, the main idea I wanted to showcase is that it doesn't take a large sample size for things to start looking like a normal (bell) curve. A random sample starts to look like a bell curve at n of 2 or 3 even. That's pretty astonishing.
