Notes on the Chebyshev Inequality
www.ams.sunysb.edu › ~jsbm › coursesOne-Sided Chebyshev : Using the Markov Inequality, one can also show that for any random variable with mean µ and variance σ2, and any positve number a > 0, the following one-sided Chebyshev inequalities hold: P(X ≥ µ+a) ≤ σ2 σ2 +a2 P(X ≤ µ−a) ≤ σ2 σ2 +a2 Example: Roll a single fair die and let X be the outcome.
