Take a sample, find the average, plot it and repeat. After many many samples, the empirical probability histogram for sample averages Take a sample, find the average, plot it and repeat. After many many samples, the *observed* probability histogram for sample averages looks like the *predicted* probability histogram.
looks like the theoretical probability
histogram.
As with $SE_\%$, as the sample size increase, the standard error decreases.
The central limit theorem still applies here, so the probability histogram for the average of the draws *follows the normal curve* with a large number of draws, even if the contents of the box do not.
