The independent identically distributed central limit theorem states that for variables of common finite mean and finite positive variance ,
For the exponential distribution, and . Thus the event in question is exactly
The limiting normal distribution has a continuous distribution function at every real , so convergence in distribution gives
Here , including the strict-inequality convention because the limiting distribution is continuous.
