Abs t rac t . An elementary "majorant-minorant method" to construct the most stringent Bonferroni-type inequalities is presented. These are essentially Chebyshev-type inequalities for discrete probability distributions on the set {0, 1 , . . . , n}, where n is the number of concerned events, and polynomials with specific properties on the set lead to the inequalities. All the known resuits are ...
