Accuracy in approximation with Central Limit Theoremcentral limit theorem

I have set of random values with the same distribution $y_1, \ldots, y_N$

$$T = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{j = 1}^{N} y_j$$

I want to find confidensethe confidence interval for the mathematical expectation $E(Y)$

I can use an approzimation approximation:

$T∼N(μ,\frac{\sigma^2}{N})$, where $\sigma=\frac{\sum^N_{i=1}(y_i−T)^2}{N−1}$. 

This approximation is valid asymptotically. Then my confidence interval is $T±1.96 \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{N}}$.

But how ofOf course, this method has a mistake, because I have only have an approximate Normal distribution and must use the sample variance.

How to getcan I deal with this inaccuracy and make a final confidence interval?

Thanks, Vasily
