$\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor\alpha n \rfloor}C_n^k(-1)^k(1-\frac{k}{\alpha n})$, where $C_n^k$ is the binomial coefficient and $0 <\alpha <1$. ---------- The above question has been solved by Losif Pinelis. A variation is $\lim_{n\to \infty}\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor\alpha n \rfloor}C_n^k(-1)^k(1-\frac{k}{\alpha n})^n$. How can we handle with this sum?
