Abstract: We obtain an asymptotic series $su{m}_{j=0}^{i}nftyfrac{I}_j{n}^j$ for the integral $in{t}_0^1[x^n+(1-x{)}^n{]}^{frac1n}dx$ as $noinfty$, and compute $I_j$ in terms of alternating (or "colored") multiple zeta value. We also show that $I_j$ is a rational polynomial the ordinary zeta values, and give explicit formulas for $jle12$. As a byproduct, we obtain precise results about the convergence of norms of random variables and their moments. We study $Vert(U,1-U)Ver{t}_n$ as $n$ tends to infinity and we also discuss $Vert(U_1,U_2,dots,U_r)Ver{t}_n$ for standard uniformly distributed random variables.
