as ''n'' tends to infinity, for any fixed {{nowrap|''ε'' > 0}}. Therefore, the sequence ''T<sub>n</sub>'' of sample means is consistent for the population mean&nbsp;''μ'' (recalling that <math>\Phi</math> is the [[Cumulative_distribution_functionCumulative distribution function|cumulative distribution]] of the normal distribution).
