Let ${A}$ be a finite non-empty set of some cardinality ${|A|}$, and let ${X}$ be a random variable taking values in ${A}$. Define the Shannon entropy ${{\bf H}(X)}$ to be the quantity $\displaystyle {\bf H}(X) := \sum_{x \in A} {\bf P}(X = x) \log \frac{1}{{\bf P}(X=x)}$, with the convention that ${0 \log \frac{1}{0}=0}$. Let ${\varepsilon > 0}$ and ${n}$ be a natural number. Let ${X_1,\dots,X_n}$ be ${n}$ iid copies of ${X}$, thus ${\vec X := (X_1,\dots,X_n)}$ is a random variable taking values in ${A^n}$, and the distribution ${\mu_{\vec X}}$ is a probability measure on ${A^n}$. Let ${\Omega \subset A^n}$ denote the set
$\displaystyle \Omega := \{ \vec x \in A^n: \exp(-(1+\varepsilon) n {\bf H}(X)) \leq \mu_{\vec X}(\{\vec x\}) \leq \exp(-(1-\varepsilon) n {\bf H}(X)) \}$.
Show that if ${n}$ is sufficiently large, then $\displaystyle {\bf P}( \vec X \in \Omega) \geq 1-\varepsilon$ and $\displaystyle \exp((1-2\varepsilon) n {\bf H}(X)) \leq |\Omega| \leq \exp((1+2\varepsilon) n {\bf H}(X))$. (Hint: use the weak law of large numbers to understand the number of times each element ${x}$ of ${A}$ occurs in ${\vec X}$.)
Question: Applying the weak law of large numbers on the sequence of random variables $\displaystyle \log \frac{1}{{\bf P}(X_i)}$, one gets $\displaystyle {\bf P}(|\log (\prod_{i=1}^n\frac{1}{{\bf P}(X_i)}) - n{\bf H}(X)| > n\varepsilon {\bf H}(X)) \to 0$ as $n \to \infty$, giving the first claim. For the second claim however, I'm not sure how the given hint relates to the size of the set $\Omega$.
