Question: Stirling's Formula (derived in Exercise 1.28), which gives an approximation for factorials, can be easily derived using the CLT. (a) Argue that, if Xi ~
(a) Argue that, if Xi ~ exponentiall),i = 1,2,..., all independent, then for every x,
where Z is a standard normal random variable.
(b) Show that differentiating both sides of the approximation in part (a) suggests
and that x = 0 gives Stirling's Formula
