∞ Abstract. We present upper bounds of the integral −∞ |x|l |P{Z N < x}−Φ(x)| dx for 0  l  1+δ, where 0 < δ  1, 2 is the normalized random sum with ES 2 > 0 Φ(x) is a standard normal distribution function, and ZN = SN / ESN N (SN = X1 + · · · + XN ) of centered random variables X1 , X2 , . . . satisfying the uniformly strong mixing condition. The number of summands N is a nonnegative integer-valued random variable independent of X1 , X2 , . . . .

Introduction and main results

Let X1 , X2 , . . . be a sequence of real centered random variables (r.v.s). For a  b, we denote by Fab the σ -algebra of events generated by r.v.s Xa , Xa+1 , . . . , Xb . As usual, R is the real line, N = {1, 2, . . . }, N0 = {0, 1, 2, . . . }, and 1A is the indicator of an event A. We consider the weak dependence condition defined between the “past” and “future” in terms of the uniformly strong mixing coefficient ϕ(τ ) introduced by Ibragimov (1959): We say that a sequence of r.v.s X1 , X2 , . . . satisfies the uniformly strong mixing (u.s.m.) condition (or the ϕ-mixing condition) with the u.s.m. coefficient ϕ(τ ) if ϕ(τ ) = sup

(see [4] or [5]). In what follows, Φ(x) is the standard normal distribution function. By C(·) with an index or without it we denote a positive finite factor depending only on the quantities indicated in the parentheses (not necessarily the same at different occurrences). c 2020 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 0363-1672/20/6002-0001

Recall the following result for sums with a fixed number n of random summands satisfying the u.s.m. condition (1.1), which will be used to prove the corresponding results for random sums. Theorem A. (See [15, Cor. 3].) Let a sequence of r.v.s X1 , X2 , . . . with EXi = 0 and E|Xi |2+δ < ∞, where 0 < δ  1, i = 1, . . . , n, satisfy the u.s.m. condition (1.1) with coefficient ϕ(τ )  Ke−μτ , where 0 < K < ∞ and μ > 0 are constants.
