(i) What does it mean to say that a sequence of random variables converges in probability to ? What does it mean to say that the sequence converges in distribution to ? Prove that if in probability, then in distribution.
(ii) What does it mean to say that a sequence of random variables is uniformly integrable? Show that, if is uniformly integrable and in distribution, then .
