8-31 Determine whether the series - converges or diverges. If it converges, find the sum. (If the quantity diverges, enter DIVERGES.) Son 8-31 n=1 - = nsion Determine whether the series converges absolutely, conditionally, or not at all. (-1) - 1 n1/2 n=1 The series converges absolutely. The series converges conditionally. The series diverges. For which values of x does (n + 4)!x converge? n = 0 (-0,00) (-1,1) O no values exist O x = 0 (-4,4) Find the...
number 3 please Hw4.1708.pd 1 2 TL (2) LP convergence vs. convergence in probability Let Xn, nNbe a sequence of random variables and let X be another random variable. Given l < p < oo, we say that Xn converges to X in Lp if E(Xn-X") → 0 as n → x Show that this implies that Xn converges to X in probability (3) Monte Carlo Let f : 10, 1] → R be continuous and let Xn, n on...
