# limit superior and law of large numbers [closed]

I am wondering whether the following result is true:

Let $(X_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of i.i.d. real-valued random variables on a probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mathbb{P})$ with law $\Lambda$. Then $$\limsup_{n \to \infty} \mathbb{P} \bigg[ \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n \mathbf{1}_{A} (X_i) =\Lambda (A), \quad \forall A \in \mathcal{B} ( \mathbb{R}) \bigg] =1.$$

By the strong law of large numbers, it is clear that $$\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n \mathbf{1}_{A} (X_i) \xrightarrow{n \to \infty} \Lambda (A), \quad \forall A \in \mathcal{B} ( \mathbb{R}), \quad \text{a.s.}$$ However, it is not obvious whether this statement is true or not. I tried applying Fatou's lemma but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

Certainly not. Unless the $X_i$ are constant, the probability that $\frac{1}{n} \sum \limits_{i = 1}^n 1_A(X_i)$ equals $\Lambda(A)$ for all $A \in \mathcal{B}(R)$ is $0$ for any $n$. You need to rethink what you want to show.
