(a) State and prove the first Borel-Cantelli lemma. State the second Borel-Cantelli lemma.
(b) Let be a sequence of independent random variables that converges in probability to the limit . Show that is almost surely constant.
A sequence of random variables is said to be completely convergent to if
(c) Show that complete convergence implies almost sure convergence.
(d) Show that, for sequences of independent random variables, almost sure convergence also implies complete convergence.
(e) Find a sequence of (dependent) random variables that converges almost surely but does not converge completely.
