Extract

Introduction. Let Xi (i= 1, 2, 3,…) be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with law ℒ(X) and write The Kolmogorov-Marcinkiewicz strong law of large numbers (Loève(6), p. 243) has the following statement:

If E|X|r < ∞, then with cr = 0 or EX according as r 1 or r ≥ 1.
