Convergence of the expected value of bounded random variables












0












$begingroup$


Let $X_n$ be a sequence of bounded random variable such that
$$
mathbb{E}left[X_nright]tomathbb{E}left[Xright]
$$

with $X$ a bounded random variable. Can I conclude that



$$
mathbb{E}left[X_n,Wright]tomathbb{E}left[X,Wright]
$$



for any bounded random variable $W$ ?

    @nicomezi in my counterexample we even have $X_nstackrel{d}{=}X$ for every $n$.

No.



Throw a fair coin and for every $n$ let $X_n=1$ if it lands on heads and $X_n=0$ otherwise.



Let $X=1$ if it lands on tails and $X=0$ otherwise.



Then let $W=X$ so that $X_nW=0$ and $XW=X$.

    Let $X$ have uniform distribution on $(-1,1)$, $X_n=-X$ for all $n$ and $W=X$. Then $EX_n W=-1/3$ for all $n$ and $EXW=1/3$ even though $EX_n =0 to 0=EX$.
