Let . Applying the same measurable function separately to independent and identically distributed random variables preserves those two properties, andIn particular, these bounded random variables are integrable random variables. The weak law of large numbers givesIf , then , whose probability tends to zero. If , then , whose probability also tends to zero. Taking a complement in the second case provesThe positive gap from is essential to this argument. Convergence in probability alone does not determine the answer at the excluded threshold .
