It is shown that when X follows a location-scale distribution with continuous density function that has support R and 0 < q < p < 1, then P(vertical bar X vertical bar <= Delta) >= q implies P(vertical bar X vertical bar <= lambda Delta) >= p for some lambda > 1 and all values of the location and scale parameters. An explicit expression for the minimum lambda is proven for the family of scaled and shifted t-distributions. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
