Proof of Set Membership, Containment, or Structural Property
View
In this subsection, $n$ is a non-zero natural number and $Z _ { 1 } , \ldots , Z _ { n }$ are discrete random variables independent on a probability space $(\Omega , \mathcal { A } , \mathbb { P })$. For all $p \in \llbracket 1 , n \rrbracket$, we denote $R _ { p } = \sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { p } Z _ { i }$. Let $A_1, \ldots, A_n$ be as defined in Q13.
Justify that for all $p \in \llbracket 1 , n \rrbracket$, we have the inclusion $$A _ { p } \cap \left\{ \left| R _ { n } \right| < x \right\} \subset A _ { p } \cap \left\{ \left| R _ { n } - R _ { p } \right| > 2 x \right\} .$$
