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.
In mathematical analysis, the Chebyshev–Markov–Stieltjes inequalities are inequalities related to the problem of moments that were formulated in the 1880s by Pafnuty Chebyshev and proved independently by Andrey Markov and (somewhat later) by Thomas Jan Stieltjes. [1]

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.
Such inequalities are of importance in several fields, including communication complexity (e.g., in proofs of the gap Hamming problem [13]) and graph theory. [14] An interesting anti-concentration inequality for weighted sums of independent Rademacher random variables can be obtained using the Paley–Zygmund and the Khintchine inequalities. [15]
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
In mathematics, Chebyshev's sum inequality, named after Pafnuty Chebyshev, states that if ...
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 ...
