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




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




Let $A={xin Omega:X(x)geq lambda a}$, we get
$$int_A (X-lambda a)geq a-int_Alambda a -int_{A^c}X$$
and $$int_A (X^2-lambda^2 a^2)=1-int_Alambda^2a^2-int_{A^c}X^2$$
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
$$
alemathbb E(X) = int_{Xlelambda a}X,dP + int_{Xgelambda a}X,dP,le,lambda a + int_{Xgelambda a}X,dP.
$$

Hence,
$$
a(1-lambda),le,int_{Xgelambda a}X,dP,le,left(int_{Xgelambda a}X^2,dPright)^{1/2}cdot P(Xgelambda a)^{1/2},le,P(Xgelambda a)^{1/2}.
$$

Square this and you're done.
