Question

I put the exercise before but I see the comment that the question is not complete. So I need exercise 49 and 50

Theorem 27 (CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM (CLT)) Let X1, X2, ... be independent identically distributed random vari-
ables with finite expectation and finite variance. Let

Then

for every a E R.

In particular, when n is large (as a rule of thumb, when n > 30), then the cdf of the rescaled random variable S, is
approximately equal to the cdf of a standard-normal random variable Z - N (0,1), i.e.
S, - ES,
P
