We remark here that with this operatio we ited to assomble i the same term, the elemets s, 1,. z+k, so the terms with less tha k + 2 factors will be already formed like i S+ ad will ot appear i ayoe of these terms. For this reaso B will be, i fact, a product of at least k + 1 factors. Let us iterchage the.+it+i with a. We get ad S-i = A z Ti^jt^s+i + B a + R jh ~ S = C^+fc+l a )(A-;.-. :+k B). As our aim is to obtai a sum JS'^-S 1, if Si S < 0 we iterchage -. with k +1 factors of B. I this case we obtai S 2 A N a + B' z :+k + R where B = N B' ad N is a product of k + 1 factors, ad we ca show that S 2 - S=( z - 7» :+k -N) ($' x +k+1 - A w B )>0. I fact we have : ;+k N ad o accout of the iequality A - = = NB> (implied by S { - S < 0), we get B' < A. Multiplyig this oe by < a we obtai B' s +jy.( < A a which proves the assertio. The other operatio is cocered with the fact that each term of j factors (for example s '.+i ca be costructed withi aotlier oe which may be a product of more tha j factors. As all are greater tha 1, if we iterchage the product ii; * with aother product of j factors as well, say, b ^, which is already a term of the iitial sum, we get a ew sum equal or greater tha the former. I symbols, from 8 = a b H + i : J+1 z+j - X + R where all with i < z are already distributed as i 8+ j we get S' =, =+ j_i-(- \-A a - -rih+r ad S { 8=( s - a ---h)(l A)>0 for - M =+j I < ad A > 1. By meas of this two operatios we ca get the sum from a arbitrary oe, say S\, through itermediate sums which will take sucessively oodecreasig values ad thus Theorem 2 is proved.

Itroductio The mai objectives of this paper are: i to obtai lower bouds of the probability of evets that are the itersectio of a deumerable or fiite family of evets, related each oe with a radom variable. ii to study the stochastic covergece of sequeces of radom vectors as arisig from coditios imposed o the sequeces of the compoets with the same idex. The case we are maily iterested i is whe the vectors have deumerable sets of compoets although we also cosider the case whe there is oly a fiite umber of compoets.
