Mar 16, 2018 at 5:24 comment added Leyla Alkan @dezdichado This is how I do that: $\sigma_n=\frac {s_1+\cdots +s_n}{n}, \sigma_{n-1}=\frac {s_1+\cdots +s_{n-1}}{n-1} $ so, $\frac {s_1+\cdots +s_n}{n}-\frac{n-1}{n}\frac {s_1+\cdots +s_{n-1}}{n-1}=\frac {s_n}{n}$ How do you get $\frac {c_n}{n}$?
Mar 16, 2018 at 5:17 comment added dezdichado you are mistaken. $\sigma_n - \dfrac{n-1}{n}\sigma_{n-1}$ is indeed equal to $\dfrac{c_n}{n}.$ Your challenge would be to prove that the left hand side tends to $0$, provided that $\sigma_n\to \sigma,$ some finite number.
Mar 16, 2018 at 5:14 comment added Leyla Alkan Yeah, I definitely understand this, but I just didn't get what the book meant there @dezdichado
Mar 16, 2018 at 5:12 comment added dezdichado Just look at $\dfrac{c_n}{n}$ and see if it tends to zero?
