The following is a probability distribution table of a certain population.
$X$123Total
$\mathrm { P } ( X )$0.50.30.21

When a sample of size 2 is drawn with replacement from this population, the probability distribution table of the sample mean $\bar { X }$ is as follows.
$\bar { X }$11.522.53
Frequency1$a$$b$21
$\mathrm { P } ( \bar { X } )$0.25$c$$d$0.120.04

Show that if $\frac { 1 } { n ^ { 2 } } = \mathrm { o} \left( p _ { n } \right)$ in the neighborhood of $+ \infty$, then $\lim _ { n \rightarrow + \infty } \mathbf { P } \left( A _ { n } > 0 \right) = 1$.
