  • Would adding together random values create a bell curve?

    I feel like this is a statistical law that I can't remember the name of or something. If you took a series of random variables from a normal distribution and added them together in chunks, say, 10 at a time, and then you plotted out all the sums, would the sums be a normal distribution? More importantly, would the distribution be narrower than the initial distribution?
