Let (Ω,F,P) be a probability space. Let (Xn)n⩾1 be a sequence of random variables with E(∣Xn∣2)⩽1 for all n⩾1.
(a) Suppose Z is another random variable such that E(∣Z∣2)<∞. Why is ZXn integrable for each n ?
(b) Assume E(ZXn)n→∞⟶0 for every random variable Z on (Ω,F,P) such that E(∣Z∣2)<∞. Show that there is a subsequence Yk:=Xnk,k⩾1, such that
N1k=1∑NYkN→∞⟶0 in L2
(c) Assume that Xn→X in probability. Show that X∈L2. Show that Xn→X in L1. Must it converge also in L2? Justify your answer.
(d) Assume that the (Xn)n⩾1 are independent. Give a necessary and sufficient condition on the sequence (E(Xn)n⩾1) for the sequence
YN=N1k=1∑NXk
to converge in L2.
