Graduate Why am I getting different results when using the law of total expectation?
Suppose a box initially contains 1 red marble and 1 black marble and that, at each time n = 1, 2, ..., we randomly select a marble from the box and replace it with one additional marble of the same color. Let X_n denote the number of red marbles in the box at time n (note that X_0 = 1). What is...- adnaps1

Graduate Limit definition and infinitely often
Yes, the notation P(\cdot) was supposed to denote a probability, and I want the x_i to be a sequence of real numbers, not random variables. But I understand what you're saying. I cannot talk about probabilities without having a random variable.- adnaps1

Graduate Limit definition and infinitely often
Limit definition and "infinitely often" If we have a sequence of real numbers x_{n} converging to x, that means \forall \epsilon > 0, \exists N such that |x_n - x| < \epsilon, \forall n \geq N. So, can we say P (|x_n - x| < \epsilon \ i.o.) = 1 because for n \geq N, |x_n - x| < \epsilon...- adnaps1
