Question

Problem 1.29. Prove the central limit theorem for a sequence of i.i.d. Bernoulli(p) random variables, where p e (0,1). Hint: Compute the moment generating function of the object you want the limit of and use Taylors expansion to show that it converges to the moment generating function of a standard normal. (In fact, the same proof, but without the computation being so explicit, works for a general distribution, as long as the secono moment is finite. And then pushing the proof a bit further leads to the Lindeberg-Feller CLT.)

Answer #1

Here we assume that we have a sample of size n from a binomial distribution for which probability of success of each r.v is p (as we assume i.i.d r.v's) then the sum of n r.v's follow binomial distribution. now for large n, we will prove CLT as,

Consider thu m- n-O) 21Hy(t) = 11t log om both side - 15 12 2 2) 20 1T 2 の dist-therefore for large n mean binomial tends to normal distribution.
