Example where X is not in the Lebesgue linear space.

Homework Statement



I'm trying to find an example where \lim_{n \to +\infty} P(|X|>n) = 0 but X \notin L where L is the Lebesgue linear space.

Relevant equations:

X is a random variabel, P is probability. I is indicator function.

The attempt at a solution

∫|X|I(|X|>n)dp + ∫|X|I(|X|≤n)dp = ∫|X|dp

∫nI(|X|>n)dp + ∫|X|I(|X|)dp ≤ ∫|X|dp

Suppose ∫I(|X|>n)dp = 1/(n ln n)
Clearly the hypothesis is satisfied because \lim_{n \to +\infty} P(|X|>n) = \lim_{n \to +\infty} ∫I(|X|>n)dp = \lim_{n \to +\infty} 1/( ln n) = 0
But I'm not sure how to conclude ∫|X|dp = ∞

Does geometric random variable work?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
