Upper bound on the probability of the maximum of random variables

469 Views Asked by At

Consider the random variables $X_{i}$, i=1,2,..,N defined on some probability space with $sup_{i}E|X_{i}|<\infty$. Nothing else is known about the $X_{i}'s$.

Is there any upper bound on $P(\max_{i}|X_{i}|$>c) available expressed in terms of $\max_{i}E|X_{i}|$?
