Almost sure convergence implies convergence in probability, so part (b) identifies the limit as a constant almost surely. For each , the events are independent. Almost sure convergence gives . If their probability sum diverged, the second Borel-Cantelli lemma would instead give probability one. Hence the sum is finite for every , proving almost sure convergence implies complete convergence for independent sequences.
