(a) State and prove Fatou's lemma. [You may use the monotone convergence theorem without proof, provided it is clearly stated.]

(b) Show that the inequality in Fatou's lemma can be strict.

(c) Let (Xn:nN)\left(X_{n}: n \in \mathbb{N}\right) and XX be non-negative random variables such that XnXX_{n} \rightarrow X almost surely as nn \rightarrow \infty. Must we have EXsupnEXn\mathbb{E} X \leqslant \sup _{n} \mathbb{E} X_{n} ?
