Concept explainers
In Exercises 1-6, let p, q, and r represent the following simple statements:
p: The temperature is below 32°.
q: We finished studying.
r: We go to the movies.
Express each symbolic compound statement in English. If a symbolic statement is given without parentheses, place them, as needed, before and after the most dominant connective and then translate into English.

- 8. Let X1, X2, ... be independent random variables with common characteristic function x(t)= √|t|(2-|t|), for t≤1, otherwise, and let {Sn, n ≥ 1} denote the partial sums. Show that S½ converges in distrib- ution as n∞ and determine the limit.arrow_forwardExample 1.4 Let X1, X2,... be independent with common density ax-a-1, for x > 1, a > 0, f(x) = 0, otherwise, and set Y = n/a. max1 1, F(x)= 0, from which it follows that, for any x > 0, otherwise, FY, (x) = P(max Xk ≤ xn¹/a) = (F(xn¹/a))" 1≤k≤n = (1-1)" as no.arrow_forwardExample 3.1 This is a slight variation of Example 2.5.1. Let, for a > 0, X1, X2, ... be independent random variables such that 1 1 P(X = 0) 1- na and P(Xn) = n≥ 1. na' The following statements hold: Xn 0 as 818 even without independence, Xn as 0 as n→∞ iff a 1, Xn 0 as Xn → 0 as 818 818 iff a 1, iff ar. Convergence in probability is a consequence of the fact that 1 P(X) = P(X = n) = →0 as n→ ∞. na The complete and almost sure facts follow from the Borel-Cantelli lemmas, since ∞ €) = +∞ when a ≤1. n=1 As for mean convergence, EX=0" (1- (1 1 +n". na na → 0, for ra.arrow_forward

An application of Chebyshev's inequality shows that, for all > 0, 1 P(X 1>E) ≤ →0 as n→ ∞. nɛ2arrow_forward8- Write down the definition of a "pseudo distribution function" and state (without proof) the Helly's selection theorem.arrow_forwarda.s.
