The definition in the text doesn't make sense. In general, something is true almost surely (a.s.) if it is true with a probability of 1. It is almost surely true that a randomly chosen number is not 4. [[User:Greg Woodhouse|Greg Woodhouse]] 12:08, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

:Greg, some would argue if the probability has a chance of being not true ≤0.01‰ the convergenge to a value is true, and the tail can be forgotten. Compare to series.

Almost sure convergence

The definition in the text doesn't make sense. In general, something is true almost surely (a.s.) if it is true with a probability of 1. It is almost surely true that a randomly chosen number is not 4. Greg Woodhouse 12:08, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

Greg, some would argue if the probability has a chance of being not true ≤0.01‰ the convergenge to a value is true, and the tail can be forgotten. Compare to series. Robert Tito |  Talk  12:44, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
