Let have the fair Bernoulli distribution and set for every . Each coordinate has the same fair probability distribution as in the independent model, but the coordinates are dependent: , whereas the product of the marginal probabilities is . Every future sigma-algebra equals , so the tail sigma-algebra also equals .
The tail event of infinitely many heads is now exactly , with probability . For the finite-window events in infinitely many heads as a tail event,
The sample space can even be the same full Cartesian product in both models: the dependent probability measure assigns mass to each of the all-zero and all-one sequences. Then is the same literal tail event in both models. Only the probability measure and its independence properties change.
Figure 1.
More independent trials increase the chance of a head; repeated copies of one coin do not
. Exact constructed probabilities for at least one head in a window of coordinates. The independent curve is and tends to one; the shared-coin curve stays at . These are calculations from the two specified probability measures, not measurements or simulated frequencies. Details.
