Suppose $chi_n to chi, ~~ chi sim mathrm{exp}(1)$ in distribution, and set $rho_n = 1 - chi_n/n$. Show that
begin{align*}
frac{1}{n log rho_n}
end{align*}
converges in distribution to $-frac {1}{chi}$.



For this question, I want to solve it by proving $frac{1}{n log rho_n}+frac {1}{chi_{n}}to0$ in probability, and therefore, $frac{1}{n log rho_n}to -frac {1}{chi}$ in distribution. This is because $-frac {1}{chi_{n}}to -frac {1}{chi}$ in distribution.



begin{align*}
frac{1}{n log rho_n}+frac {1}{chi_{n}}&=frac{1}{n log rho_n}+frac {1}{n(1-rho_{n})}\
&=frac {1}{n}(frac{1}{ log rho_n}+frac {1}{1-rho_{n}})\
&=frac {1}{n}left(frac {1}{log (1-frac {chi_{n}}{n})}+frac {n}{chi_{n}}right)
end{align*}
By Taylor expansion of $log (1-x)$ at $x=0$,
begin{align*}
log (1-x)=0-x+ldots
end{align*}
Therefore,
begin{align*}
frac{1}{n log rho_n}+frac {1}{chi_{n}}&=frac {1}{n}(-frac {n}{chi_{n}}+frac {n}{chi_{n}})\
&=0
end{align*}



The thing is I'm not sure that I can use the Taylor expansion here. I'm hoping for a better proof.
