What is the The sum of two normally distributed random variables?
The sum of two random variables that are normally distributed will be also be normally distributed. Use the link and check out the article. It'll save a cut and paste.
Will the sum of two normally distributed random variables be normally distributed if the random variables are independent?
Yes, and the new distribution has a mean equal to the sum of the means of the two distribution and a variance equal to the sum of the variances of the two distributions. The proof of this is found in Probability and Statistics by DeGroot, Third Edition, page 275.
How chi square distribution is extension of normal distribution?
Given "n" random variables, normally distributed, and the squared values of these RV are summed, the resultant random variable is chi-squared distributed, with degrees of freedom, k = n-1. As k goes to infinity, the resulant RV becomes normally distributed. See link.
What does the Central Limit Theorem state?
The Central Limit Theorem (abbreviated as CLT) states that random variables that are independent of each other will have a normally distributed mean.
Continuous random variables are obtained from data that can be measured rather than counted?
true
