I am confused on a basic probability inequality, could anyone help me on this:
If X>Y>t, then is P(X>t) larger or smaller than P(Y>t)?
Thanks

A basic probability inequality is a mathematical concept that describes the relationship between the probability of an event and its complement. It states that the probability of an event occurring is always less than or equal to 1, and the probability of the event not occurring is always greater than or equal to 0.
A basic probability inequality is calculated using the formula P(A) + P(A') = 1, where P(A) represents the probability of an event occurring and P(A') represents the probability of the event not occurring.
Basic probability inequalities are used in various fields, such as statistics, economics, and engineering, to calculate the likelihood of an event or outcome. They are also used in risk assessment and decision making processes.
No, a basic probability inequality cannot be violated as it is a fundamental mathematical concept that is always true.
A basic probability inequality is a specific inequality that applies to all probability events, while other probability concepts, such as Bayes' theorem and the law of total probability, are more specific and may only apply to certain types of events or scenarios.
