The strong law of large numbers states that for independent identically distributed integrable random variables,To prove it, set $Y_n=X_n{1}_{\{|X_n|\le n\}}$. The tail-sum formula gives ${\sum }_n\mathbb{P}(X_n\ne Y_n)<\infty$, so the Borel-Cantelli lemmas make the two sequences eventually equal. AlsoThe Kolmogorov convergence theorem implies that ${\sum }_n(Y_n-\mathbb{E}{Y}_n)/n$ converges almost surely, and Kronecker lemma yieldsFinally $\mathbb{E}{Y}_n\to \mu$, so the Cesaro mean of these expectations tends to $\mu$.
