i got 1

OpenStudy (watchmath):

why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry... it is 0 :)

let y=n!/n^n lny=\[\sum_{r=0}^{n}\ln(n-r)/n\] now ln((n-r)/n)=ln(1-r/n) as n->infinity so r/n=0 so ln(1-r/n)=ln(1)=0; lny=0 y=1 so the limit is 1

Something wrong with your argument dipankar. I found the answer \[0<\frac{n!}{n^n}<\frac{1\cdot n^{n-1}}{n^n}=\frac{1}{n}\] By squeeze theorem, then the limit is zero.
