In probability theory and statistics, the beta distribution is a family of continuous probability. Finally, the central limit theorem is introduced and discussed. Binomial approximation for a sum of independent beta. Next, functions of a random variable are used to examine the probability density of the sum of dependent as well as independent elements. To get a better understanding of this important result, we will look at some examples. This is an expository note on useful expressions for the density function of a product of independent random variables where each variable has a beta distribution. We continue our study of sums of independent random variables.
