Homework Statement



Let (X1, X2, ..., Xn,...) be iid increments (with mean µ and variance ∂^2) of a random walk Sn=X1+X2+...+Xn. What are the expected value, variance of Sn?
Prove that lim n-> ∞ Sn =+ ∞ if µ>0 and lim n-> ∞ Sn =- ∞ if µ<0

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I found that E(Sn)=nµ and Var(Sn)=n∂^2. I am not sure how to do the second part though.

What is the definition of lim Sn?
 
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...
