Yes, and more so for larger samples. (It follows from the Central Limit Theorem.)

Concept of Probability sampling and chi square test?

A probability sampling method is any method of sampling that utilizes some form of random selection. See: http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/sampprob.php The simple random sample is an assumption when the chi-square distribution is used as the sampling distribution of the calculated variance (s^2). The second assumption is that the particular variable is normally distributed. It may not be in the sample, but it is assumed that the variable is normally distributed in the population. For a very good discussion of the chi-square test, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson%27s_chi-square_test
