Abstract
Let be a random variable with finite second moment. We investigate the inequality: , where is a standard normal random variable. We prove that this inequality holds for many familiar infinitely divisible continuous distributions including the Laplace, Gumbel, Logistic, Pareto, infinitely divisible Weibull, log-normal, student's and inverse Gaussian distributions. Numerical results are given to show that the inequality with continuity correction also holds for some infinitely divisible discrete distributions.
