Given the definition:
For real-valued random variables X_n, n\geq1 and X, then X_n\stackrel{D}{\rightarrow}X if for every bounded continuous function g: R \rightarrow R, E_n[g(X_n)]\rightarrow E[g(X)]
I want to prove the continuous mapping theorem:
If X_n\stackrel{D}{\rightarrow}X then h(X_n)\stackrel{D}{\rightarrow}h(X) for any continuous function h: R \rightarrow R
without using Skorokhod's representation theorem.
The theorem makes sense to me intuitively but I'm lost as to how to prove it mathematically.
Edit: apologies for the really bad latex, my browser keeps hanging on the preview/save
