Let X1,...,Xn be i.i.d. random variables with mean 0 and variance 2 > 0. In class we have shown a central limit theorem, ¯ Xn /pn )N(0,1), as n!1 , (1) with the assumption E(X1) = 0. Using (1), we now prove the theorem for a more general E(X1)=µ6=0 case. Now suppose X1,...,Xn are i.i.d. random variables with mean µ6= 0 and variance 2.
