Given X a nonnegative r.v. with E(|X|α)<∞, then how to prove that
lim
If X has a PDF, then it seems this can be proved using some integration by parts. But now there is nothing mentioned about the regularity of its CDF. So how shall I proceed?
Best regards.
Answer
You have as x\rightarrow \infty:
x^\alpha P(|X|>x) \leq E(|X|^\alpha 1_{|X|>x}) \rightarrow 0
by dominated convergence.
