Abstract: | It i s well known that even if the sample observations are correlated and not normal, the sample mean is normal in 1arge samples. But how large is large? This question i s investigated in this paper. In particular , the relation between the rate of convergence and the correlation property of the observations i s explored. It i s observed that the correlation, in general, retards the rate of convergence. |
