摘要：

This paper deals with the comparison of tail probabilities for sums of independent bounded random variables and those for sums of Bernoulli random variables. As a consequence, we obtain a new sufficient criterion for the strong law of large numbers for a certain class of sequences of independent random variables satisfying boundedness and second moment conditions, which - in a sense - cannot be improved upon.
