Mathematics
In finance, a hedge is an investment that is taken out specifically to reduce or cancel
out the risk in another investment.
central limit theorem (CLT) states that the sum of a large number of
independent and identically-distributed random variables will be approximately
normally distributed (i.e., following a Gaussian distribution, or bell-shaped curve)
if the random variables have a finite variance.
