Formally: for any random variable X with finite mean μ and finite variance σ², P(|X − μ| ≥ kσ) ≤ 1/k². Unlike the normal distribution's sharper bounds, Chebyshev's inequality applies to '''any''' distribution with finite variance — making it one of the most universal tools in probability. The inequality was p...)
