Estimates for probabilities of independent events and infinite series

Probability 2016-09-29 v1

Abstract

This paper deals with (finite or infinite) sequences of arbitrary independent events in some probability space. We find sharp lower bounds for the probability of a union of such events when the sum of their probabilities is given. The results have parallel meanings in terms of infinite series.
