(See Steps) Chebyshev's other inequality. Let f: R \rightarrow R and g: R \rightarrow R be bounded and increasing functions. Prove that, for any r.v. X, E(f(X)


Question: Chebyshev's other inequality.

Let \(f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) and \(g: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be bounded and increasing functions. Prove that, for any r.v. \(X\),

\[E(f(X) g(X)) \geq(E f(X))(E g(X))\]

[In other words, \(f(X)\) and \(g(X)\) are positively correlated. This is intuitively obvious, but a little tricky to prove. Hint: consider an independent copy \(Y\) of \(X\). For this and the next question you may need the product rule for expectations of independent r.v.s]
