Solution

 0  0
ii
Let μ=E[X1​] and σ2=Var(X1​)∈(0,∞). For independent and identically distributed random variables, the central limit theorem states
σn​X1​+⋯+Xn​−nμ​d​N(0,1).​
(1)
The limit is the standard normal distribution. If the variance is zero, then Xi​=μ almost surely; the centered sums are zero, and division by σ is not defined.
