### Limit using Poisson distribution [duplicate]

Show using the Poisson distribution that $$\lim_{n \to +\infty} e^{-n} \sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{n^k}{k!} = \frac {1}{2}$$

### Central value of the partial exponential function [duplicate]

I need help calculating the central value of the partial exponential function : $$\lim_{n \to \infty} e^{-n} \sum^n_{k=0} \frac{n^k}{k!}$$ fd

### Does n power of e grow much more faster than its Maclaurin polynomial? [duplicate]

I wonder how to calculate the following limit: $$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1+n+\frac{{}n^{2}}{2!}+\cdots +\frac{n^{n}}{n!}}{e^{n}}$$ In the first sight, I think it should be zero, because ...

### Compare $e^n$ and its first $n$ terms sum [duplicate]

Compute the limit as $n$ approaches infinity. $$\frac{\sum_{0\le i\le n} \frac{n^i}{i!}}{e^n}$$ It is somehow between 0 and 1.
I'm trying to compute the following limit of a series: $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{k = n+1}^{\infty}\frac{e^{-n}n^{k}}{k!}$$ Factoring $e^{-n}$ out of the sum, applying the definition of $e^{x}$ as a ...
