摘要
For real a > 0, let X-a denote a random variable with the gamma distribution with parameters a and 1. Then P(X-a - a > c) is increasing in a for each real c >= 0; non-increasing in a for each real c <= -1/3; and non-monotonic in a for each c is an element of (-1/3, 0). This extends and/or refines certain previously established results. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
