Step 1
The expected value of Yn is E(Yn) = np. So, the expected value of Yn/n is E(Yn/n) = np/n = p. Show more…

Let the random variable Yn have a binomial distribution that is bin(n,p). (a) Prove that Yn/n converges in probability to p. This result is one form of the weak law of large numbers. (b) Prove that 1 - Yn/n converges in probability to 1 - p.

Prove that if a sequence of bounded random variables {Xn}n=1 to infinity, such that for all n, |Xn| < mu < infinity, converges in probability to bounded random variable X, where |X| < mu < infinity, then {E[|Xn - X|]}n=1 to infinity converges as a sequence of real numbers to 0, i.e., {Xn}n=1 to infinity converges in mean to X.
