Let $x \le y \le z$ be the length of the sides of a triangle whose vertices are uniformly random on the circumference of a circle. In this question, it was proved that if $a \ge 1$, then the ...

Let $ f : [0,1] \to \mathbb{R} $ be a function satisfying: 1.) $ |f(x)| \leqslant a $ for some $ a < 1 $, and 2.) $ \int_0^1 f(x) {\mathrm d}x = 0 $. I would like to know whether the following ...

Are there any good approximations (especially upper bounds) for the quantity $E(\|X_1-X_2\|$), where each $X_i$ is uniformly distributed in a rectangle $[a_i,b_i]\times[c_i,d_i]$? It does not appear ...

Problem: Let $\phi(x)$ be the normal probability density function (pdf), and $\Phi(x)$ the normal cumulative distribution (cdf). I'm interested in the asymptotic behavior of the following integral $I(...

Consider a symmetric, unimodal distribution $f(x)$ such that $\int_0^\infty f(x)\,dx > 1/2$. I want to prove or disprove the following: $$ \int_0^\infty \int_{-x}^0 f(x)f(y)\,dy\,dx > \int_0^\...
