Abstract
Let denote a binomial random variable with parameters and . Vas\v{e}k Chv\'{a}tal conjectured that for any fixed , as ranges over , the probability is the smallest when is closest to . This conjecture has been solved recently. Motivated by this conjecture, in this paper, we consider the corresponding minimum value problem on the probability that a random variable is not more than its expectation, when its distribution is the Poisson distribution, the geometric distribution or the Pascal distribution.
