This is a problem in KaiLai Chung's A Course in Probability Theory.




Given a nonnegative random variable $X$ defined on $Omega$, if $mathbbE(X^2)=1$ and $mathbbE(X)geq a >0$, prove that $$mathbbP(Xgeq lambda a)geq (a-lambda a)^2$$
for $0leqlambda leq 1$.




Let $A=xin Omega:X(x)geq lambda a$, we get
$$int_A (X-lambda a)geq a-int_Alambda a -int_A^cX$$
and $$int_A (X^2-lambda^2 a^2)=1-int_Alambda^2a^2-int_A^cX^2$$
I want to contrast $int_A (X-lambda a)$ and $int_A (X^2-lambda^2 a^2)$, but I don't know how to do it, could anyone gives me some hints?

You have
$$
alemathbb E(X) = int_Xlelambda aX,dP + int_Xgelambda aX,dP,le,lambda a + int_Xgelambda aX,dP.
$$

Hence,
$$
a(1-lambda),le,int_Xgelambda aX,dP,le,left(int_Xgelambda aX^2,dPright)^1/2cdot P(Xgelambda a)^1/2,le,P(Xgelambda a)^1/2.
$$

Square this and you're done.
