Abstract: In the present note we consider the Hipp approximation to the convolution of a finite number of probability distributions on the non-negative integers. It is shown that the moment up to and including order r of the rth order approximation are equal to the corresponding moments of the exact distribution. We also give a relation between the exact and approximated (r + 1)th order moments and indicate how similar relations can be obtained for higher order moments.
