| Jul 29, 2015 at 9:38 | comment | added | Boris Bukh | @DominicvanderZypen While I am sympathetic to your plea for assistance, MO is not a place to seek assistance with undergraduate-level material. Not receiving a satisfactory answer on stats.stackexchange.com does not make your question on topic here. Similarly, I should not answer your question as doing so would reward posting off-topic questions. | |
| Jul 29, 2015 at 9:18 | comment | added | Dominic van der Zypen | On the link I gave in the question above, my problem was called "tricky" in the comments, and no answer was given. If the question is as basic as you claim, I'm sure you can give me the limit. Please share your wisdom. | |
| Jul 29, 2015 at 9:07 | comment | added | Boris Bukh | @DominicvanderZypen This is a very basic probability question (undergraduate level). As an experienced user, you know that if someone here asked "What is 2+2?", they would be downvoted and redirected to resources outside MO. Similarly, your question does not belong to this forum, but it would be on-topic at MSE. | |
| Jul 29, 2015 at 8:55 | comment | added | Dominic van der Zypen | @BorisBukh I agree he is not under such an obligation. I was just asking whether there is an obvious answer to my question that I have overlooked. If you know the limit I asked for, please let me know it. | |

| Jul 29, 2015 at 8:32 | comment | added | Boris Bukh | @DominicvanderZypen This is not a research-level question in mathematics. As such, not only Anthony is not under an obligation to answer your question, but he ought to vote it down as not being suitable for this forum. | |

| Jul 29, 2015 at 6:49 | comment | added | Dominic van der Zypen | Please explain in an answer why the limit exists, and what its value is, so we can close this question | |
| Jul 29, 2015 at 6:20 | comment | added | Anthony Quas | Just use linearity of expectation - I think this doesn't belong here. | |
