[Math] Distribution of Sum of Discrete Uniform Random Variables

statistical-inferencestatisticsuniform distribution

I just had a quick question that I hope someone can answer.
Does anyone know what the distribution of the sum of discrete uniform random variables is?
Is it a normal distribution?

Thanks!

The distribution is asymptotically normal. Otherwise, the exact distribution is that of a normalized extended binomial coefficient, see "Polynomial Coefficients and Distribution of the Sum of Discrete Uniform Variables" by Camila C. S. Caiado and Pushpa N. Rathie at http://community.dur.ac.uk/c.c.d.s.caiado/multinomial.pdf.
