The term Chebyshev's inequality may also refer to Markov's inequality, especially in the context of analysis. They are closely related, and some authors refer to Markov's inequality as "Chebyshev's First Inequality," and the similar one referred to on this page as "Chebyshev's Second 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.
In probability theory, the coupon collector's problem refers to mathematical analysis of "collect all coupons and win" contests. It asks the following question: if each box of a given product (e.g., breakfast cereals) contains a coupon, and there are n different types of coupons, what is the probability that more than t boxes need to be bought ...

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

Consider the sum = = = (). The two sequences are non-increasing, therefore a j − a k and b j − b k have the same sign for any j, k.Hence S ≥ 0.. Opening the brackets, we deduce:
