Let γ>0 and define
f(x)=γ1+x21,−∞<x<∞
Find γ such that f is a probability density function. Let {Xi:i⩾1} be a sequence of independent, identically distributed random variables, each having f with the correct choice of γ as probability density. Compute the probability density function of X1+⋯+ Xn. [You may use the identity
m∫−∞∞{(1+y2)[m2+(x−y)2]}−1dy=π(m+1){(m+1)2+x2}−1
valid for all x∈R and m∈N.]
Deduce the probability density function of
nX1+⋯+Xn
Explain why your result does not contradict the weak law of large numbers.
