Abstract:
|
This article presents four different proofs of the convergence of Binomial to a limiting normal distribution. These contrasting proofs may not be all found together in a book or a single article in the literature. Readers would find the presentation informative and especially useful from the pedagogical standpoint. The article should be of interest to teachers and students of senior undergraduate or first year level graduate courses in probability and statistics.
