Practical applications of SLLN where WLLN does not suffice?

195 Views Asked by At

Are there any practical applications of the Strong Law of Large Numbers for which the Weak Law of Large Numbers would not suffice?

When, in practice, is the result $$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \mathbf{P}\biggl[\Bigl|\frac{1}{n}\bigl(X_1+X_2+\cdots+X_n\bigr)-\mu\Bigr|\ge\varepsilon \biggr] = 0$$ not enough?

When is $$\mathbf{P}\biggr[\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{n}\bigl(X_1+X_2+\cdots+X_n\bigr) = \mu\biggl]=1$$ needed?

Thank you!
