1. In statistics, the probability distribution of a statistic as the sample size approaches infinity; the limiting distribution of a test statistic or estimator under repeated sampling
As sample size increases, the large-sample distribution of the sample mean approaches a normal distribution.
À medida que o tamanho da amostra aumenta, a distribuição assintótica da média amostral se aproxima de uma distribuição normal.
2. The theoretical distribution used for inference when the sample size is sufficiently large, often used in hypothesis testing and confidence interval construction
We can use the large-sample distribution to approximate the p-value in this test.
Podemos usar a distribuição assintótica para aproximar o valor-p neste teste.
