There is a probabilistic method to solve it. But I am not familiar with probability. I am trying to compute it by analytic method, such as using L Hospital's rule or Stolz formula, but they are not ...

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

Possible Duplicate: Compute the limit: $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} e^{-n} \sum\limits_{k=0}^{n} \frac{n^k}{k!}$ I want to calculate the following: $$ \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \left( e^{-n} \...

$$\lim \limits_{n\mathop\to\infty}\frac{1}{e^n}\sum \limits_{k\mathop=0}^n\frac{n^k}{k!} $$ I thought this limit was obviously $1$ at first but approximations on Mathematica tells me it's $1/2$. Why ...

The limit $$\lim_{n\to\infty} e^{-n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{n^i}{i!}$$ can be seen to be $\frac{1}{2}$, yet isn't the sum in this expression just going to be $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}e^{n}$, making the ...

Evaluate the limit: $$ \lim_{n \to \infty}e^{-n}\sum_{k = 0}^n \frac{n^k}{k!} $$ It is not as easy as it seems and the answer is definitely not 1. Please help in solving it.

We need to find out the limit of, lim$_{n \to \infty} \sum _{ k =0}^ n \frac{e^{-n}n^k}{k!}$ One can see that $\frac{e^{-n}n^k}{k!}$ is the cdf of Poisson distribution with parameter $n$. Please ...

$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1+\frac{n}{1!}+\cdot+\frac{n^n}{n!}}{e^n}=\frac12$ Taking the first $n$ terms of the Taylor series of $e^n$ as the numerator, the limit is true or false? How to prove?

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) $\...

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 ...

From working on a problem I was lead to consider the function $\frac{T_n(n)}{e^n}$ where $T_n(x)$ is the $n$'th order Taylor polynomial of $e^x$. Numerical evidence suggest that $$\lim_{n\to \infty} ...

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 ...

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

Let $$S_n=e^{-n}\sum_{k=0}^n\frac{n^k}{k!}$$ Is the sequences$\{S_n\}$ convergent? The following is my answer,but this is not correct. please give some hints. For all $x\in\mathbb{R}$, $$\lim_{n\...

How to prove that: $\lim_{n \rightarrow\infty} e^{-n}\sum_{k=0}^{n}\frac{n^k}{k!} = \frac{1}{2}$ It's about the Normal Approximation to Poisson distribution. But it only calculates part of the ...
