  2. Chebyshev's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev's_inequality

    By comparison, Chebyshev's inequality states that all but a 1/N fraction of the sample will lie within √ N standard deviations of the mean. Since there are N samples, this means that no samples will lie outside √ N standard deviations of the mean, which is worse than Samuelson's inequality.

  3. Chebyshev–Markov–Stieltjes inequalities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev–Markov...

    Let P 0,P 1, ...,P m be the first m + 1 orthogonal polynomials [clarification needed] with respect to μ ∈ C, and let ξ 1,...ξ m be the zeros of P m. It is not hard to see that the polynomials P 0 , P 1 , ..., P m -1 and the numbers ξ 1 ,... ξ m are the same for every μ ∈ C , and therefore are determined uniquely by m 0 ,..., m 2 m -1 .

  4. Multidimensional Chebyshev's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional_Chebyshev...

    In probability theory, the multidimensional Chebyshev's inequality [1] is a generalization of Chebyshev's inequality, which puts a bound on the probability of the event that a random variable differs from its expected value by more than a specified amount.

    Chebyshev's theorem is any of several theorems proven by Russian mathematician Pafnuty Chebyshev. Bertrand's postulate, that for every n there is a prime between n and 2n. Chebyshev's inequality, on the range of standard deviations around the mean, in statistics; Chebyshev's sum inequality, about sums and products of decreasing sequences

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupon_collector's_problem

    Graph of number of coupons, n vs the expected number of trials (i.e., time) needed to collect them all E (T ) In probability theory, the coupon collector's problem refers to mathematical analysis of "collect all coupons and win" contests.

  9. Cantelli's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantelli's_inequality

    While the inequality is often attributed to Francesco Paolo Cantelli who published it in 1928, [4] it originates in Chebyshev's work of 1874. [5] When bounding the event random variable deviates from its mean in only one direction (positive or negative), Cantelli's inequality gives an improvement over Chebyshev's inequality. The Chebyshev ...
