... 7. (Ergodicity of product measure). This problem guides you to a proof of a different zero-one law. (1) Consider the product measure space (RZ , B(RZ ), ⊗Z µ) where µ ∈ P(R). Define τ : RZ → RZ by (τ ω)n = ωn+1 . Let I = {A ∈ B(RZ ) : τ (A) = A}. Then, show that I is a sigma-algebra (called the inv ...

For example, if the outcome is ω = HHT HT then X(ω) = 2 since a head is followed directly by a tail at trials 2 and 3, and also at trials 4 and 5. Find the probability mass fu ...

conditional probability

Suppose we know that event A has happened. Then the probability that event B happens given that event A has happened is denoted by P(B A). ...
