Let $\{X_i\}_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$ be i.i.d. symmetric random variables, with $-1\leq X_i\leq 1$, $\mathbb{E}(X_i) =0$, $\mathbb{E}(X_i^2) = 1$. We have that: $$ P\left(\bigcap_{k = 1}^{n}\frac{|\sum_{i = ...

Suppose $(Z_1, Z_2)$ is the zero-mean bivariate normal distribution with covariance $\left( \begin{matrix} 1 & \rho; \\ \rho & 1\end{matrix} \right)$ with positive $\rho > 0$. What I want ...

Let $X_i$ be the $i$-th element of the vector $X=(X_1, ..., X_m)$ of i.i.d. random variables. I am looking for a lower bound for the expression $\mathbb{P}((\sum^n_{i=1}\prod^{m_i}_{j=1}(X_j))^2 \geq ...

Let $X$ be a random $N \times n$ matrix with iid entries from $\mathcal N(0, 1)$ and with $n/N =: \lambda(N,n) \le \lambda_0$, for some $\lambda_0 \in (0, 1)$. That is, $X$ is genuinely rectangular (...

Let $m$ be a large positive integer and $X=(X_1,\ldots,X_m) \sim N(0,I_m)$. I wish to show that the squared norm of $X$ is much much bigger than the absolute value of any of the $X_j$'s. For example, ...

Mix $T\geq1$ coupons numbered $1$ to $T$ with a set of $S\geq0$ number of dummy coupons with no numbers. Select $N\geq1$ coupons at each trial at random and put them back. $N=1$ is standard coupon ...
