论文摘要

考虑到具有整数期望$ m $的二项式随机变量bi $(n,m/n)$的可能性最多是其期望的。 Chvátal推测,对于任何给定的$ N $,当$ M $是最接近$ 2N/3 $的整数时,此概率是最小的。我们表明,当$ n $很大时,这会成立。

Consider the probability that a binomial random variable Bi$(n,m/n)$ with integer expectation $m$ is at most its expectation. Chvátal conjectured that for any given $n$, this probability is smallest when $m$ is the integer closest to $2n/3$. We show that this holds when $n$ is large.
