grandes-ecoles 2015 QV.D.1 Almost Sure Convergence and Measure-Theoretic Probability View
We assume $m>1$. We study the Galton-Watson process starting with $k$ individuals in generation 0, with $W_n$ the number of individuals in generation $n$. We define $u_n$, $u_n^{(r)}$, $U(s)$ and $U_r(s)$ as above, and $u$ is the probability that $(W_n)$ does not take the value $k$.
Show that the probability that the sequence $(W_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}^*}$ takes the value $k$ infinitely many times is zero.

grandes-ecoles 2018 Q21 Proof of a Probability Identity or Inequality View
Let $n$ be an integer such that $n \geqslant 2$. We denote by $E' = \operatorname{Vect}(e_{1}, \ldots, e_{n-1})$ and $\pi$ the orthogonal projection onto $E'$. We set $X' = \pi \circ X = \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} \varepsilon_{i} e_{i}$. For $t$ in $\{-1, 1\}$ we denote $C_{t} = \pi(C \cap H_{t})$ where $H_t = E' + te_n$. For $t$ in $\{-1, 1\}$, we denote by $Y_{t}$ the projection of $X'$ onto the non-empty closed convex set $C_{t}$.
Show that
$$\mathbb{P}(X \in C) = \frac{1}{2}\mathbb{P}(X' \in C_{+1}) + \frac{1}{2}\mathbb{P}(X' \in C_{-1})$$
grandes-ecoles 2019 Q14 Combinatorial Counting (Non-Probability) View
We consider a general balanced urn with parameters $a_{0}, b_{0}, a, b, c, d \in \mathbb{N}$ satisfying $a + b = c + d = s$. For $n \geqslant 1$, an outcome resulting from $n$ successive draws is modeled by the $n$-tuple indicating the color and number of the balls successively obtained. We denote by $\Omega_{n}$ the set of possible outcomes of these $n$ draws.
By examining the number of balls in the urn just before each draw, justify that, for $n \geqslant 1$, $$\operatorname{card}(\Omega_{n}) = (a_{0} + b_{0}) \times \cdots \times (a_{0} + b_{0} + s(n-1)) = s^{n} L_{n}\left(\frac{a_{0} + b_{0}}{s}\right).$$

We consider a general balanced urn with parameters $a_{0}, b_{0}, a, b, c, d \in \mathbb{N}$ satisfying $a + b = c + d = s$. For $n \geqslant 1$, $\Omega_{n}$ denotes the set of possible outcomes of $n$ draws, and $X_{n}$ denotes the number of white balls present in the urn after $n$ draws. For $\omega \in \Omega_{n}$, $b(\omega)$ denotes the number of white balls present in the urn at the end of the $n$ draws modeled by $\omega$.
Show that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}^{*}$ and all $k \in \mathbb{N}$, $$P(X_{n} = k) = \frac{\operatorname{card}(\{\omega \in \Omega_{n} ; b(\omega) = k\})}{\operatorname{card}(\Omega_{n})}.$$
