Show that, if X and Y are independent random variables, such that E|X|< ∞, and B is an arbitrary Borel set, then EXI{Y B} = EX P(YE B).arrow_forwardPls help me with accurate answer plsarrow_forwardProposition 1.1 Suppose that X1, X2,... are random variables. The following quantities are random variables: (a) max{X1, X2) and min(X1, X2); (b) sup, Xn and inf, Xn; (c) lim sup∞ X and lim inf∞ Xn- (d) If Xn(w) converges for (almost) every w as n→ ∞, then lim- random variable. → Xn is aarrow_forward
