Sufficient conditions are presented for the limiting normality of sequences of discrete random variables possessing unimodal distributions. The conditions are applied to obtain normal approximations directly for the hypergeometric distribution and the stationary distribution of a special birth-death process.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the number of failed components of a coherent system. We consider the case when the component lifetimes are discrete random variables that may be dependent and non-identically distributed. Firstly, we compute the probability that there are exactly i, $$i=0,\ldots ,n-k,$$ i = 0 , … , n - k , failures in a k-out-of-n system under the condition that it is operating at time t. Next, we extend this result to other coherent systems. In addition, we show that, in the most popular model of independent and identically distributed component lifetimes, the obtained probability corresponds to the respective one derived in the continuous case and existing in the literature.

Let {Xn} (n = 1, 2 , …) be a stochastic process. The random variables comprising it or the process itself will be said to be interchangeable if, for any choice of distinct positive integers i 1, i 2, H 3 … , ik, the joint distribution of depends merely on k and is independent of the integers i 1, i 2, … , i k. It was shown by De Finetti (3) that the probability measure for any interchangeable process is a mixture of probability measures of processes each consisting of independent and identically distributed random variables.
