Limits Problem : $\lim_{n \to \infty}[(1+\frac{1}{n})(1+\frac{2}{n})\cdots(1+\frac{n}{n})]^{\frac{1}{n}}$ is equal to.. [duplicate]

Problem: How to find the following limit : $$\lim_{n \to \infty}[(1+\frac{1}{n})(1+\frac{2}{n})\cdots(1+\frac{n}{n})]^{\frac{1}{n}}$$ is equal to (a) $\frac{4}{e}$ (b) $\frac{3}{e}$ (c) ...

Limit of Series with Variable Lower Bound [duplicate]

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 ...

$\lim_{n\to\infty} e^{-n}\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{n^k}{k!}$ [duplicate]

How can be evaluated this limit: $$\lim_{n\to\infty} e^{-n}\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{n^k}{k!} .$$ Thank you.

How can I compute this limit? [duplicate]

I have to compute $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \exp(-n)\left(1+n+\frac{n^2}{2}+\ldots+\frac{n^n}{n!} \right)$$ I think the value is 1, but i don't know how to proof this. Do I have to estimate the remainder ...

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.

Expected number of tosses before you see a repeat.

Suppose we roll a fair die until some face has appeared twice. For instance, we might have a run of rolls 12545 or 636. How many rolls on average would we make? What if we roll until a face has ...

How do you use the CLT to prove the following about Poisson processes? [duplicate]

I need to use the Central limit theorem to prove the following about a poisson distribution $$\lim_{n \to +\infty} e^{-n} \sum_{k=0}^{n} \frac{n^k}{k!} = \frac{1}{2}$$ Hopefully I formatted that ...
Finding $\lim_{n\to\infty} e^{-n}\sum_{k=0}^n \frac{n^k}{k!}$ if it exists [duplicate]
Does there exist the following limitation? If the answer is yes, could you show me how to find that? $$\lim_{n\to\infty} e^{-n}\sum_{k=0}^n \frac{n^k}{k!}$$ In the following, I'm going to write what ...
