if Z is Normal and U has Chi squared distribution.

According to T1 Z^2 has Chi squared distribution with 1 df.

According to T3:

 has an F distribution of F(1,n).

Proof:

if x is normal, According to T1, Z^2 has Chi squared distribution with 1 df.

\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{\sigma^2/n}

has chi squared distribution because x-mu is normal.

It can be proven that

\frac{(n-1)S^2}{\sigma^2}\sim \chi^2_{n-1}

Therefore

\frac{ (x-\mu)^2}}{\frac{S^2}{n}}=\frac{ \frac{(x-\mu)^2}{1/n}}{{S^2}}=\frac{ \frac{(x-\mu)^2}{\sigma^2/n}}{(\frac{S^2}{\sigma^2})}=\frac{ \frac{(x-\mu)^2}{\sigma^2/n}}{(\frac{(n-1)S^2}{\sigma^2})/(n-1)}\sim F_{(1,n-1)}

=============================================================

Below we show that

has a  t^2 distribution by proving that  has a t distribution with n-1 df.

 

\frac{ (x-\mu)^2}{\frac{S^2}{n}}

\lim_{n->\infty}(a\leq \frac{ \bar{W}-\mu }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }\leq b)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \int_{a}^{b} e^{\frac{-z^2}{2}}d_{z}

The proof involves addition of two Chi squared pdfs which leads to either convolution:

or use of method of moments

Theorem 19.  http://digitalcommons.usu.edu/gradreports/14/   the best of proofs.

Therefore:

As shown above, The numerator is Normal based on central limit theorem, and the denominator is chi. therefore it is t.
