Let X=(X1,X2,X3,…) be a countable sequence of independent Rademacher random variables.
For each n∈N+, denote Sn=∑i∈[n]Xi.
Weak Law of Large Numbers. ∀ϵ>0, it holds that
nlimPr[n1⋅Sn≥ϵ]=0.
Proof. Via Hoeffding's inequality, we have
Pr[n1⋅Sn≥ϵ]≤exp(−2n⋅ϵ2).Letting n→∞, the right hand side converges to 0.

Strong Law of Large Numbers. Let
A≐⎩⎨⎧x∈{−1,1}N:nlimn1i∈[n]∑xi=0⎭⎬⎫be the set consisting of those x whose partial sums converges to 0.
Then
Pr[X∈A]=1.
Proof. For each n≥2, let ϵn=2⋅(lnn)/n, and define the set
Bn≐⎩⎨⎧x∈{−1,1}N:n1i∈[n]∑xi≥ϵn⎭⎬⎫.Via Hoeffding's inequality, we see that
Pr[X∈Bn]≤n21.Let Ck≐∪n≥kBk.
For each x∈Aˉ, ∃ϵ>0, s.t.,
x∈∩k≥1∪n≥k⎩⎨⎧x∈{−1,1}N:n1i∈[n]∑xi≥ϵ⎭⎬⎫⊂(∩k≥2Ck).It follows that Aˉ⊂(∩k≥2Ck)=limkCk.
Further, for each k≥2,
Pr[X∈Ck]≤n≥k∑Pr[X∈Bn]≤k1.Hence,
Pr[X∈klimCk]=klimPr[X∈Ck]=0.□
