Corollary 4

  If there exist real finite constants an > 0 and bn, $n = 1,2,3,\ldots$, such that

\begin{displaymath}
F^n (a_n x + b_n) \Rightarrow \phi (x),\end{displaymath}

where $\phi(x)$ is a proper frequency distribution, then $\phi(x)$is continuous for all x. Hence, for all x,

\begin{displaymath}
\lim_{n\to\infty} F^n (a_n x + b_n) = \phi (x),\end{displaymath}

and the concept of weak convergence may be replaced with the usual type of limiting process [see Rudin (1953), for instance].

Proof: The corollary follows immediately from the properties of the limiting types permitted by Theorem 4.
