Paper 4, Section II, K
Let be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables. Set .
(i) State the strong law of large numbers in terms of the random variables .
(ii) Assume now that the are non-negative and that their expectation is infinite. Let . What does the strong law of large numbers say about the limiting behaviour of , where ?
Deduce that almost surely.
Show that
Show that infinitely often almost surely.
(iii) Now drop the assumption that the are non-negative but continue to assume that . Show that, almost surely,
