. (Markov’s Inequality) Let X be a non-negative random variable defined on the sample Ω i.e. X(s) ≥ 0 for all s ∈ Ω. Let a be some fixed positive number. (a) If you know nothing about the probability distribution of X, what can you say about P(X ≥ a)? (b) Now, if you know what the value of (E(X) = µ) is, can you say anything about P(X ≥ a)? Turns out something non-trivial can be said about this...
