Abstract: Let $x{i}_n$ be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables. In this paper we study the comparison for two upper tail probabilities $mathbbPsu{m}_{n=1}^{infty}{a}_n|x{i}_n{|}^{p}geqr$ and $mathbbPsu{m}_{n=1}^{infty}{b}_n|x{i}_n{|}^{p}geqr$ as $rightarrowinfty$ with two different real series $a_n$ and $b_n.$ The first result is for Gaussian random variables $x{i}_n,$ and in this case these two probabilities are equivalent after suitable scaling. The second result is for more general random variables, thus a weaker form of equivalence (namely, logarithmic level) is proved.
