Let (Ω, F , P) be a probability space. Suppose that Ω is the collection of all possible outcomes of a single iteration of a certain experiment. Also suppose that, for each C ∈ F, the probability that the outcome of this experiment is contained in C is P(C). Consider events A, B ∈ F with P(A) + P(B) > 0. Suppose that the experiment is iterated indefinitely, with each iteration identical and independent of all the other iterations, until...
