I am having trouble approximating the sum of gamma-distributed variables via CLR.



I know via Gamma that
$X=sum_i=1^n X_i \$ and
$XsimGamma(nalpha,beta) \$



and $CLT: Z_n=fracoverlineX-nmusigmasqrtn$



Let's say n = 300, $X_isimGamma(0.6,0.3) \$
so $X=sum_i=1^n X_i \$, $XsimGamma(300*(0.6),0.3) \$



$mu = fracalphabeta = 600.\
sigma^2 = fracalphabeta^2 = 2000\
sigma = 44.72\$



For $Z_n$, does $nmu$ refer to $300*mu$?



Thanks in advance.

    $nmu$ is just $600$.
