Paper 1, Section II,
(i) Let be a measure space and let . For a measurable function , let . Give the definition of the space . Prove that forms a Banach space.
[You may assume that is a normed vector space. You may also use in your proof any other result from the course provided that it is clearly stated.]
(ii) Show that convergence in probability implies convergence in distribution.
[Hint: Show the pointwise convergence of the characteristic function, using without proof the inequality for .]
(iii) Let be a given real-valued sequence such that . Let be a sequence of independent standard Gaussian random variables defined on some probability space . Let
Prove that there exists a random variable such that in .
(iv) Specify the distribution of the random variable defined in part (iii), justifying carefully your answer.
