Let {x1, x2, . . . , xn} be a set of real numbers and define x = 1 n .n i=1 xi, s2 = 1 n 1 .n i=1 (xi x) 2 . Prove that at least a fraction 1 1/k2 of the xis are between x ks and x + ks. Sketch of a Proof: Let N be the number of x1, x2, . . . , xn that fall in A = [ x ks, x + ks]. Then s2 = 1 n 1 .n i=1 (xi x) 2 1 n 1 . xi,A (xi x) 2 1 n 1 . xi,A k2 s2 = n N n 1 k2 s2 . This gives (N 1)/(n 1) 1 (1/k2). The result follows since N/n (N 1)/(n 1).
