Let X 1 ,X 2 , . . .,X n be a random sample from a Poisson

Question:

Let X1,X2, . . .,Xn be a random sample from a Poisson distribution with mean μ. Thus, Y = Σni=1 Xi has a Poisson distribution with mean nμ. Moreover, ‾X = Y/n is approximately N(μ, μ/n) for large n. Show that u(Y/n) =Y/n is a function of Y/n whose variance is essentially free of μ.
