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 Taylor's 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...

R commands 2) Illustrating the central limit theorem. X, X, X, a sequence of independent random variables with the same distribution as X. Define the sample mean X by X = A + A 2 be a random variable having the exponential distribution with A -2. Denote by -..- The central limit theorem applied to this particular case implices that the probability distribution of converges to the standard normal distribution for certain values of u and o (a) For what...
