A sharper bound of the Hotelling-Solomons inequality

Statistics Theory 2023-10-31 v2 Statistics Theory

Abstract

The original Hotelling-Solomons inequality indicates that an upper bound of |mean - median|/(standard deviation) is 1. In this note, we find a new bound depending on the sample size, which is strictly smaller than 1.
