Answer:
The distribution of the sampled means becomes normally distributed (bell shaped) as the sample size increases.

Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Central Limit Theorem, if the mean values for increasing sample sizes are obtained, the distribution of sample means will be normally distributed, even if the individual samples do not have normal distributions.
Typically, sample sizes of 30 or greater are recommended.
