Convergence in distribution of a product
I'm kinda lost in this kind of problems, so I apologize if this is to easy.
Let $V_nsimoperatorname{Exp}(n)$. I've already prove that $V_n rightarrow 1$ in probability, $e^{-V_n}rightarrow 1$ in probability but I cant manage to prove that $nV_{n}rightarrow V$ in distribution where $Vsimoperatorname{Exp}(1)$.
Hope you guys could help, thanks so much in advance. :)

$P{V_n >t}=e^{-nt}$ by definition of exponential distribution. Hence $P{nV_n >t}=P{V_n >frac t n}=e^{-t}=P{V>t}$. This means $nV_n$ has the same distribution as $V$ for every $n$. Surely, $nV_n to V$ in distribution.

$P{V_n >t}=e^{-nt}$ by definition of exponential distribution. Hence $P{nV_n >t}=P{V_n >frac t n}=e^{-t}=P{V>t}$. This means $nV_n$ has the same distribution as $V$ for every $n$. Surely, $nV_n to V$ in distribution.

You probably mean $V_nto 0$ in probability.
