However, the Markov inequality has one main aw: its validity is limited to nonnegative random variables. In the very short note, we propose an ...

Markov's inequality says that the chance that a non-negative random variable is at least three times its mean can be no more than 1/3. The chance that the ...

Theorem 1 (Markov’s Inequality) Let Xbe a non-negative random variable. Then, Pr(X a) E[X] a; for any a>0. Before we discuss the proof of Markov’s Inequality, rst let’s look at a picture that illustrates the event that we are looking at. E[X] a Pr(X a) Figure 1: Markov’s Inequality bounds the probability of the shaded region.

One use of Markov's inequality is to use the expectation to control the probability distribution of a random variable. For example, let X be a non- negative ...

Hint: Do a change of random variable to get non-negativity. Set Y=X+6, so that EY=6 and Y≥0 a.s.. Click to show spoiler.

control the probability distribution of a random variable. For example, let X be a non-negative random variable; if E[X] < t, then Markov’s inequality asserts that Pr[X ‚ t] • E[X]=t < 1, which implies that the event X < t has nonzero probability. The next theorem removes the restriction to nonnegative random variables. Theorem 5.

Markov's inequality says that the chance that a non-negative random variable is at least three times its mean can be no more than $1/3$. The chance that the random variable is at least four times its mean can be no more than $1/4$. And so on. A non-negative random variable is not likely to exceed its mean by a big factor. What does Markov's ...

In probability theory and statistics, Markov's inequality gives an upper bound for the probability that a non-negative function of a random variable is ...

To apply Markov's inequality, we require just the expectation of the random variable and the fact that it is non-negative.

Proposition 1 (Markov’s Inequality). Let Xbe a random variable that takes only nonneg-ative values. Then for any positive real number a, P(X a) E(X) a provided E(X) exists. For example, Markov’s inequality tells us that as long as X doesn’t take negative values, the probability that Xis twice as large as its expected value is at most 1 2 ...

control the probability distribution of a random variable.

The next theorem removes the restriction to nonnegative random variables. Theorem 5.

In probability theory, Markov's inequality gives an upper bound for the probability that a non-negative function of a random variable is greater than or equal to some positive constant. It is named after the Russian mathematician Andrey Markov, although it appeared earlier in the work of Pafnuty
