How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

IID finite-variance weak law

Statement

Let (Xk)k≥1 be IID square-integrable real random variables, with μ=EX1 and σ2=Var⁡(X1). For Sn=∑k=1nXk, E∣Sn/n−μ∣2=σ2/n, and Sn/n→μ in L2 and in probability. Also P(∣Sn/n−μ∣≥ε)≤σ2/(nε2) for ε>0.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

Identical distribution and IID families: Let (Xi)i∈I be random elements with the same measurable target (E,E). They are identically distributed if P(Xi∈B)=P(Xj∈B) for all i,j∈I and B∈E, that is, their laws in def-law-or-distribution-of-a-random-element agree. They are independent and identically distributed (IID) if, in addition, the whole family is independent in def-independent-random-elements. Independence means mutual independence, not merely pairwise independence. No moment assumption is part of either definition. The empty family satisfies these universal conditions vacuously.

[F2]

Chebyshev weak law for uncorrelated arrays: For each n≥1, let Xn,1,…,Xn,rn be square-integrable real random variables on one probability space, pairwise uncorrelated within the row, where rn≥0 is finite. Set Sn=∑k=1rnXn,k and let bn>0 be deterministic. If vn:=bn−2∑k=1rnVar⁡(Xn,k)⟶0, then (Sn−ESn)/bn→0 in L2 and in probability. More precisely, its second moment is vn, and its probability of absolute value at least ε>0 is at most vn/ε2. No independence between rows is required.

[F3]

For n≥1, if X0,…,Xn−1 are independent real random variables and gi:R→R are Borel measurable with each gi(Xi) integrable, then ∏i<ngi(Xi) is integrable and E[∏i<ngi(Xi)]=∏i<nE[gi(Xi)] in R (Expectations factor over finite products of independent random variables).

IID gives common mean and variance. For distinct indices, factorization of the integrable variables gives E(XiXj)=μ2, hence zero covariance. Thus the first n variables form an uncorrelated row.

Apply the row result with rn=n and bn=n. Its variance sum is nσ2, so it gives the displayed identity, both convergences, and the probability bound. This calculation holds for n=1 and for σ2=0.
