For independent random variables , let , , and let the tail sigma-algebra be . Kolmogorov zero-one law states that every has probability zero or one.
Such an event is independent of each by independence of the variables. The collection of events satisfying is a Dynkin system: it contains the whole space and is closed under complements and disjoint countable unions. It contains the pi-system , which generates . The pi-lambda theorem therefore makes independent of all of . Since itself belongs to ,
