Abstract: Let $$ and $$ be two independent random sequences. We obtain rates of convergence to the normal law of randomly weighted self-normalized sums ${\displaystyle }$ psi_n(�X,�Y)=sum_{i=1}^nX_iY_i/V_n,quad V_n=sqrt{Y_1^2+...+Y_n^2}. ${\displaystyle }$ These rates are seen to hold for the convergence of a number of important statistics, such as for instance Student's $t$-statistic or the empirical correlation coefficient.
