Estimates for probabilities of independent events and infinite series

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.
