Question:
Suppose X1,...,Xn are i.i.d. real-valued random variables.
Write Xi = X+
i − X−
i , where X+
i = max(Xi, 0). Suppose X−
i has a finite mean, but X+
i does not. Let X¯n be the sample mean. Show X¯n P
→ ∞. Hint: For B > 0, let Yi = Xi if Xi ≤ B and Yi = B otherwise; apply the Weak Law to Y¯n.
