Here's a question on probability theory from a layman (I'm a game theorist). It is very likely that the question will be a straightforward matter for someone who is a probability theorist. I guess I'm missing a very standard technique that could be used to address the problem. Any ideas would be very helpful! Thank you all very much in advance.

Consider a stochastic process $X_{t}$ taking values in the set $\{0,1\}$ according to the probability measure $\mu$. Let $$Y_{t} = \mu\left(\limsup_{T \rightarrow \infty}\frac{1}{T}\sum_{t = 0}^{T - 1}X_{t} \geq \frac{1}{2}\mid X_{0},\dots,X_{t - 1}\right).$$ We know that $$\mu(X_{t} = 1 \mid Y_{t} < \epsilon) > 1 - \epsilon.$$ We believe (but unable to prove) that $$Y_{t} = 1\text{ for every }t,\,\mu\text{-almost surely.}$$

This might have to do with Levy's zero-one law...

Thanks again for your help!

P.S. My apologies for an earlier post that did not meet the standards of the forum.

We expect this hasThis might have to do with Levy's zero-one law, but we are unable to prove the conjecture. Thank you so much..

a question on 0-1 valued stochastic process

Consider a stochastic process $X_{t}$ taking values in the set $\{0,1\}$ according to the probability measure $\mu$. Let $$Y_{t} = \mu\left(\limsup_{T \rightarrow \infty}\frac{1}{T}\sum_{t = 0}^{T - 1}X_{t} \geq \frac{1}{2}\mid X_{0},\dots,X_{t - 1}\right).$$ We know that $$\mu(X_{t} = 1 \mid Y_{t} < \epsilon) > 1 - \epsilon.$$ Show that $$Y_{t} = 1\text{ for every }t,\,\mu\text{-almost surely.}$$

We expect this has to do with Levy's zero-one law, but we are unable to prove the conjecture. Thank you so much for your comments!
