The concept of weighted statistical convergence was introduced and studied by Karakaya and Chishti (2009) . In this paper, we modify the definition of weighted statistical convergence and find its relationship with the concept of statistical summability due to Moricz and Orhan (2004) . We apply this new summability method to prove a Korovkin type approximation theorem by using the test functions . We apply the classical Baskakov operator to construct an example in support of our result.
