Abstract: The theory of probability shows that, as the fraction $X_n/Yo0$, the conditional probability for $X_n$, given $X_n+Yin{h}_{delta}:=[h,h+delta]$, has a limit law $f_{X_n}(x)e^{-ps{i}_n(h_{d}elta)x}$, where $ps{i}_n(h_{d}elta)$ equals to $[partiallnP(Yin{y}_{d}elta)/partialy{]}_{y=h}$ plus an additional term, contributed from the correlation between $X_n$ and bath $Y$. By applying this limit law to an isolated composite system consisting of two strongly coupled parts, a system of interest and a large but finite bath, we derive the generalized Boltzmann distribution law for the system of interest in the exponential form of a redefined Hamiltonian and corrected Boltzmann temperature that reflects the modification due to strong system-bath coupling and the large but finite bath.
