Let $X \in R^n$ be a random vector such that $$P(|X_i| > \epsilon) \le e^{-\epsilon^2}$$ What is a tight bound on $$P(\sum_{i=1}^n |X_i| > \epsilon)$$ and on $$P(\max_{1\le i\le n} |X_i| > \epsilon)?$$ The $X_i$ can be arbitrarily dependent. The best I can get for both bounds is $1-n e^{-\epsilon^2}$ (using the union bound).
