Jun 30, 2016 at 1:00 comment added Iosif Pinelis As I said, the left tail of $X_b$ is the same as the right tail of $X_{−b}$ (not of $X_b$). Of course, the distribution of $X_b$ is not symmetric (about its mean).

Jun 30, 2016 at 0:27 comment added Wuchen One more question, why is left tail the same as the right tail for $X_b$? It seems to me that $X_b$ is not symmetric around its mean.
Jun 30, 2016 at 0:18 comment added Wuchen You are right, it works for all x. Thx!
Jun 29, 2016 at 23:42 comment added Iosif Pinelis No further constraints on $x>b$. The condition $h_{b,x}\in(0,h_b)$ is automatically satisfied for all such $x$ and all $b\in(-1,1)$. I have added this detail to the answer.
Jun 29, 2016 at 23:18 comment added Wuchen Thank you for your answer. This is exponential bound is true only when $h_{b,x} < h_{b}$, which poses constraints on $x$. Is that right?
