* Suppose an urn contains ''n'' red and ''m'' blue marbles. Suppose marbles are drawn without replacement until the urn is empty. Let ''X''<sub>''i''</sub> be the indicator random variable of the event that the ''i''th marble drawn is red. Then {''X''<sub>''i''</sub>}<sub>''i''=1,...''n''</sub> is an exchangeable sequence. This sequence cannot be extended to any longer exchangeable sequence.
 
* Let ''X''<sub>1</sub>, ''X''<sub>2</sub>, ''X''<sub>3</sub>, ... be exchangeable random variables, taking real values and such that E(''X''<sub>''i''</sub> <sup>2</sup>) < ∞. Then E(''X''<sub>1</sub> ''X''<sub>2</sub>) ≥ 0.
