Abstract
This paper studies the moderate deviations of real-valued extended negatively dependent (END) random variables with consistently varying tails. The moderate deviations of partial sums are first given. The results are then used to establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for the moderate deviations of random sums under certain circumstances.
