ABSTRACT
In this paper we establish exact strong laws of large numbers for the range of a Pareto random variable. The underlying density is $f(x)=x^{-2}I(x\ge 1)$. Neither the first nor second moments of this random variable
exist, which makes these theorems unusual. The
results are of the form $\sum_{i=1}^n a_i R_i/b_n\to \gamma,$ as $n \to\infty$, where $R_i$ is the range from the $i^{th}$ sample.
