SUMMARY. It is proved for non-negative uncorrelated random variables that Cesaro- uniform integrability implies the weak law of large numbers and strong Cesaro-uniform in- tegrability implies the strong law of large numbers. A counterexample shows that the non- negativity assumption is essential in this context. In Landers-Rogge (1987) a weak law of large numbers (WLLN) was proved for pairwise independent uniformly integrable random variables. Chandra (1989) weakened the assumption of uniform integrability to Cesaro uniform integrability and obtained even L1-convergence for pairwise independent random variables. We show that Chandra's result holds for non-negative and uncorrelated instead of pairwise independent random variables, but not for uncorrelated random vari- ables in general (see Theorem 2(i) and Example 4). Landers and Rogge (1987) furthermore proved a strong law of large num- bers (SLLN) for pairwise independent and strongly uniformly integrable random variables. Chandra and Goswami (1992) proved a more general SLLN for pair- wise independent and Cesaro strongly uniformly integrable random variables. We show that their result holds for non-negative and uncorrelated instead of pairwise independent random variables, but not without the assumption of non- negativity (see Theorem 2(ii) and Example 4).
