Formally: if X is a non-negative random variable and a > 0, then P(X ≥ a) ≤ E[X]/a. The inequality is remarkable for requiring almost no assumptions: it needs only that the variable be non-negative and have a finite expectation. This universality makes it the foundation of more specialized bounds, including [[Chebyshev's ine...)
