Normal approximation of MLE of Poisson distribution and confidence interval

Let $(X_1,ldots,X_n)$ denote a random sample from a Poisson distribution with parameter $lambda$.



Maximum Likelihood Estimate of $lambda$ is given by



$hatlambda = barX = frac1n sumlimits_i=1^n X_i$



a) Show that $fracbarX-musqrtlambda/nsim N(0,1)$ approx.



b) Using this normal approximation find the theoretical confidence interval with the $1-alpha/2$ quantile from the $N(0,1)$ distribution.




Thoughts: I'm quite stuck on problem a). I don't quite se om the MLE which is equal the the sample mean is relevant here but I am probably (most definitely) missing something. My only idea is to use CLT in some way since



$$fracbarX-musigma/sqrtn=fracbarX-musqrtlambda/n$$



as the variance of Poisson is just $lambda$. But from here I don't know what to do.... Can someone help me?



And for problem b) I have 0 ideas...

Using this in part b), you can get a confidence interval for $lambda$ from $overline X-z_alpha/2sqrtfracoverline Xn<lambda<overline X+z_alpha/2sqrt fracoverline Xn$ or consider a variance stabilising transform to find the C.I.

You have an answer in the comments, so just slightly formalizing it. For (a) you have $n$ i.i.d Poisson random variables, thus a finite second moment, hence by the CLT
$$
sqrtnfrac(barX - mathbbEX)sqrt Var(X) xrightarrowD N(0,1),
$$

in your case $mathbbEX = Var(X) = lambda$. Thus for any finite $n$,
$$
sqrtnfrac(barX - lambda )sqrt lambda approx N(0,1).
$$

For (b), using (a) you know that
$$
mathbbPleft(z_a/2 le sqrtnfrac(barX - lambda )sqrt lambda le z_1-a/2 right) approx 1 - a
$$

re-arranging the inequality you have
$$
mathbbPleft( barX - z_1-a/2sqrtlambda/n le lambda le barX + z_1-a/2sqrtlambda/n right) approx 1 - a,
$$

replace the $lambda$ with its estimator $barX$ in $sqrtlambda/n$ and you have the CI.
