Given the definition:
For real-valued random variables [tex]X_n[/tex], [tex]n\geq1[/tex] and X, then [tex]X_n\stackrel{D}{\rightarrow}X[/tex] if for every bounded continuous function g: [tex]R \rightarrow R[/tex], [tex]E_n[/tex][g([tex]X_n[/tex])][tex]\rightarrow E[/tex][g(X)]
I want to prove the continuous mapping theorem:
If [tex]X_n\stackrel{D}{\rightarrow}X[/tex] then [tex]h(X_n)\stackrel{D}{\rightarrow}h(X)[/tex] for any continuous function h: [tex]R \rightarrow R[/tex]
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
