Let (Ω,F,P) be probability theory.
Suppose that X1,X2,X3,... be sequence of random variable and E(Xi)=0 for all i∈N.
Let Yn=X1+X2+...+Xnn.
claim . Yn converges to 0 in probability.
Let An={w:|Yn(w)|>ϵ>0}
∫An|Yn|dP≥∫AnϵdP≥P(An)ϵ
But |Yn|≤|X1|/n+|X2|/n+...|Xn|/n so P(An)=0.
is it right?
Answer
If you assume the Xi are iid, this is the Weak Law of Large Numbers. Without that assumption (or some slight generalizations of it), the statement is false.
