b
Put λi​=z∣Vi​∣. Then
N(Vi​)∼Pois(λi​),EN(Vi​)=λi​,
(1)
and λi​→∞. The Poisson central limit theorem gives
λi​​N(Vi​)−λi​​d​N(0,1).
(2)
Since λi​​=z​∣Vi​∣​,
∣Vi​∣​N(Vi​)−EN(Vi​)​=z​λi​​N(Vi​)−λi​​d​N(0,z)​.
(3)
Equivalently, the characteristic function of the left-hand side is
exp{λi​(eit/∣Vi​∣​−1−∣Vi​∣​it​)}⟶e−zt2/2,
(4)
which is the characteristic function of that centered normal distribution.
