I am literally crying right now cause no matter how many times I wentt to my professor or looked on google or through my notes, I could never understand this. I am so glad i found you

The best, most intuitive, most thoughtful presentation of elementary concentration inequalities I have ever witnessed. Thank you Professor Tsitsiklis. I know it is unlikely that you see these comments, but I hope you do. Your teaching has made a world of difference to students all over the world.

Thank you! The proof of markov & chebyshev inequality is easy to be understood

Does anyone know why p( x - 1 >= a -1) <= p( | x - 1| >= a - 1) is a true statement at 4:34 . How do we know that the statement is true if we dont know the distribution of the probability?

Wouldn't Markov be a better bound for distributions with very high variance?

What is the real world usage of Chebyshev? Can someone give an example please.

This is what college tuition fees gets you - incomplete proofs from incompetent teachers. Meanwhile all the sheeple viewers are grateful thinking they understand (when they don’t). |x - m| >= c implies (x - m)^2 >= c^2, sure, that is easily seen, but we are talking about their probabilities here and this guy has just straight up claimed they are equal (and the sheeple have just accepted). The world is full of incompetent teachers who need to be held accountable - I’m simply doing my little part.
