Correct. The shape of the sampling distribution of \(\overline{x} \) is Normal IF (case 1) the population is Normal or (case 2) the sample size is large provided the samples are SRS. Thus, if the population shape is non-Normal, the shape of the sampling distribution of \(\overline{x} \) is approximately Normal if the sample size is large.
