Abstract

Let $\{X_n,\;n{\geq}1\}$ be a sequence of pairwise negative quadrant dependent (NQD) random variables which are stochastically dominated by X. Let $\{a_n,\;n{\geq}1\}$ and $\{b_n,\;n{\geq}1\}$ be sequences of constants such that $a_n>0$ and $0. In this note a weak law of large number of the form $({\sum}_{j=1}^na_jX_j-{\nu}_n)/b_n\rightarrow\limits^p0$ is established, where $\{{\nu}_n,\;n{\geq}1\}$ is a suitable sequence.
