EXAMPLE 1.23.– Let (Xn)n∈ℕ be a sequence of random variables and we consider, for any n ∈ ℕ,
DEFINITION 1.21.– Let (Ω,
– X is said to be adapted to the filtration (n)n∈ℕ (or again (n)n∈ℕ−adapted), if Xn is n-measurable for any n ∈ ℕ;
– X is said to be predictable with respect to the filtration (n)n∈ℕ (or again (n)n∈ℕ−predictable), if Xn is n−1-measurable for any n ∈ ℕ∗.
EXAMPLE 1.24.– A process is always adapted with respect to its natural filtration.
As its name indicates, for a predictable process, we know its value Xn from the instant n − 1.

– X1 be the random variable number of T on the first toss;
– X2 be the number of T on the second toss;
– Y be the number of T obtained on the two tosses;

EXERCISE 1.6.– Let (Xn)n≥1 be a sequence of independent random variables with the same Rademacher distribution with parameter 1/2:
Let S0 = 0 and
EXERCISE 1.7.– Consider the following game of chance. A player begins by choosing a number between 6 and 8 (inclusive), which we call the principal. The player then rolls 2 uncut, six-sided, non-rigged dice and sums the result. The wins are as follows:
– If the sum is 2 or 3, the player loses 1 DT (Tunisian dinar).
– If the sum is 11, the player wins 1 DT if the principal is 7; otherwise, they lose 1 DT.
– If the sum is 12, the player wins 1 DT if the principal is 6 or 8; otherwise, they lose 1 DT.
– Finally, in all other cases, nothing happens (no win, no loss).
1 1) Determine Ω, the universe of all outcomes of the experiment.
2 2) S is the random variable giving the sum of the two dice. Determine the distribution of S.
