Chapter 7, Problem 104SE

(choose chapter or problem)

Let \(Y_{n}\) be a binomial random variable with \(n\) trials and with success probability \(p\). Suppose that \(n\) tends to infinity and \(p\) tends to zero in such a way that \(n p\) remains fixed at \(n p=\lambda\). Use the result in Theorem 7.5 to prove that the distribution of 𝑌n converges to a Poisson distribution with mean \(\lambda\).
