Sum of $\sum_{i=1}^n iX_i$ where each $X_i$ has uniform distribution on $[0,1]$

93 Views Asked by At

I have a stuck to prove the following statement.

Let $\{X_n,n\geq 1\}$ be an i.i.d. sequence of Uniform $[0,1]$. Show that $\dfrac{4\sum_{i=1}^n iX_i - n^2}{n^{\frac{3}{2}}}$ converges in distribution as $n\to\infty$ and find the limiting distribution.

First, I try to compute the distribution of $\sum_{i=1}^n iX_i$ by using the characteristic function $\phi_{jX_j}(t) = \int_0^1 e^{itjx} \, dx=\dfrac{e^{itj}-1}{itj}$.

However, the product of these functions are not beautiful to move on.

May someone give me a hint?
