Corollary 6

  If for a sequence of constants an > 0 and bn, $n = 1,2,3,\ldots$,

\begin{displaymath}
G_{m,n} (a_n x + b_n) \Rightarrow H_m (x),\end{displaymath}

where m is finite and Hm (x) is a proper frequency distribution, then Hm (x) is everywhere continuous.

Proof:

\begin{displaymath}
\text{If} \quad G_{m,n} (a_n x + b_n) \Rightarrow H_m(x), \quad
\text{then} \quad F^n (a_n x + b_n) \Rightarrow \phi (x),\end{displaymath}

by Theorem 6. But by Corollary 4, $\phi(x)$ is everywhere continuous. In the proof of Theorem 6 it was shown that the set of continuity points of Hm(x) and $\phi(x)$ are identical. Hence, Hm(x) is everywhere continuous.
