Markov's inequality - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Markov&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 Chebyshev (Markov's teacher), and many sources ...
Markov's inequality - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov's_inequalityWe separate the case in which the measure space is a probability space from the more general case because the probability case is more accessible for the general reader. where is larger than 0 as r.v. is non-negative and is larger than because the conditional expectation only takes into account of values larger than which r.v. can take. Hence intuitively , which directly leads to .

Indeed, Markov’s inequality implies for example that X < 1000E[X] holds with probability 1¡10¡4 = 0:9999 or greater. Let us see how Markov’s inequality can be applied. Example 4. Let us °ip a fair coin n times.
