1. Introduction. Bernoulli trials. Consider a sequence of Bernoulli trials. Let p, assumed to satisfy 0<p < 1, be the probability of success at any given trial and let q = 1–p. If Nn is the number of successes in the first n trials, it is well known that Nn/n→p almost surely as n→∞ so that for every ∈> 0,
as n→∞, and it is clearly of great interest to know quantitatively how this probability depends upon n and ∈.
