how do I go about evaluating sums

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you man by that

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

\[\sum_{i=n}^{n}\left[ \frac{ i-n }{ n } \right]^\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\left( \frac{ 1 }{ n } \right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since it goes from \(n\) to \(n\), then just let \(i=n\) and you're done.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't it zero?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

my bad i = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so @wio is correct and i believe the answer is zero

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

correction \[\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left[ \frac{ i-1 }{ n } \right]^\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\left( \frac{ 1 }{ n } \right)\]
