Suppose $chi_n to chi, ~~ chi sim mathrm{exp}(1)$ in distribution, and set $rho_n = 1 - chi_n/n$. Show that
begin{align*}
frac{1}{n log rho_n}
end{align*}
converges in distribution to $-frac {1}{chi}$.



For this question, I want to solve it by proving $frac{1}{n log rho_n}+frac {1}{chi_{n}}to0$ in probability, and therefore, $frac{1}{n log rho_n}to -frac {1}{chi}$ in distribution. This is because $-frac {1}{chi_{n}}to -frac {1}{chi}$ in distribution.



begin{align*}
frac{1}{n log rho_n}+frac {1}{chi_{n}}&=frac{1}{n log rho_n}+frac {1}{n(1-rho_{n})}\
&=frac {1}{n}(frac{1}{ log rho_n}+frac {1}{1-rho_{n}})\
&=frac {1}{n}left(frac {1}{log (1-frac {chi_{n}}{n})}+frac {n}{chi_{n}}right)
end{align*}
By Taylor expansion of $log (1-x)$ at $x=0$,
begin{align*}
log (1-x)=0-x+ldots
end{align*}
Therefore,
begin{align*}
frac{1}{n log rho_n}+frac {1}{chi_{n}}&=frac {1}{n}(-frac {n}{chi_{n}}+frac {n}{chi_{n}})\
&=0
end{align*}



The thing is I'm not sure that I can use the Taylor expansion here. I'm hoping for a better proof.

Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo
