Question
A. Suppose Xn, n = 1, 2, 3, . . . is a sequence of random
variables that converges in probability to a. Suppose,
Yn, n = 1, 2, 3, . . . that converges in probability to b.
Use the theorems in your text regarding convergence in
probability to show (4Xn ^2 - 7Yn ^3)/Xn converges in
probability to (4a ^2 - 7b^2)/a B. Give an example of
two common statistics we have worked with through
this semester that converge in probability to a well
known population parameter.
