Part A

Answer all the questions.                                                                            10 X 2 = 20

 

1.  Define minimal s – field.
2. Explain Lebesgue measure with an example.
3. What is a set function?
4. What is positive part and negative part of a borel measurable function?
5. State Randon – Nikodym theorem
6. Show that a random variable need not necessarily be a discrete or continuous type.
7. Define almost everywhere convergence.
8. State Holder’s inequality.
9. Describe a simple function with an example.
10. If X_n  X and g is continuous then show that g(X_n)  g (X).

 

Part B

 

Answer any five questions.                                                                           5 X 8 = 40

 

1. Show that countable additivity of a set function with m(f) = 0 implies finite additivity of a set function.
2. Show that a counting measure is a complete measure on a s – field.
3. Let F be the distribution function on R given by

0          if   x < -1

1 + x    if   -1 £ x < 0

F(x) =           2 + x²   if   0£ x < 2

9          if   x ³ 2.

If m is the Lebesgue – Stieltjes measure corresponding to F, compute the measure

of the set { x: ÷ x÷ + 2x² > 1}.

1. Let f be B-measurable and if f = 0 a.e. [m]. Then show that f dm = 0.
2. State and establish additivity theorem of integral.
3. State and establish Minkowski’s inequality.

 

 

1. If X_nX then show that (X_n² + X_n) (X² + X).
2. Describe Central Limit theorem and its purpose.

 

Part C

 

Answer any two questions.                                                                         2 X 20 = 40

 

1. a). If { A_i , i ³ 1) is a sequence of subsets of a set W then show that

A_i = (A _i  – A _{i – 1}).

b). Show that a monotone class which a field is s – field.                          (10 +10)

1. a). State and establish basic integration theorem.

b). If hdm exists then show that ½hdm ½£ ïh ïdm                           (12 + 8)

1.  a). State and establish monotone class theorem.

b). If    X_n  X  then show that E½X_n½^r   E½X½^r  as n ® ¥. (12+ 8)

1. a). Show that Liapunov’s Central Limit theorem is a particular case of

Lindeberg’s Central Limit theorem.

b). State and establish Levy’s theorem.                                                       (8 + 12)
