Let (Xn)n∈N be a sequence of (real-valued, Borel-measurable) random variables on the probability space (Ω,A,P).
(a) Let (An)n∈N be a sequence of events in A.
What does it mean for the events (An)n∈N to be independent?
What does it mean for the random variables (Xn)n∈N to be independent?
(b) Define the tail σ-algebra T for a sequence (Xn)n∈N and state Kolmogorov's 0−1 law.
(c) Consider the following events in A,
{Xn⩽0 eventually }{n→∞limX1+…+Xn exists }{X1+…+Xn⩽0 infinitely often }
Which of them are tail events for (Xn)n∈N ? Justify your answers.
(d) Let (Xn)n∈N be independent random variables with
P(Xn=0)=P(Xn=1)=21 for all n∈N,
and define Un=X1X2+X2X3+…+X2nX2n+1.
Show that Un/n→c a.s. for some c∈R, and determine c.
