Markov and Chebyshev`s Inequalities
... Solution: Let X be the r.v. that counts the number of heads. Recall: E(X ) = 200 ∗ (1/10) = 20. By Chernoff bounds, P(X ≥ 120) = P(X ≥ 6E(X )) ≤ 2−6E(X ) = 2−(6·20) = 2−120 . Note: By using Markov’s inequality, we were only able to determine that P(X ≥ 120) ≤ (1/6). But by using Chernoff bounds, whi ...

Exact upper tail probabilities of random series

The first exact upper tail probability was derived in [19] with i.i.d. nonnegative {ξj } having regular variation at infinity, where the coefficients {aj } could be random. This result was later generalized in [8], [9] and [14]. Recently there are severa ...
