Image title	THE GAUSSIAN CORRELATION INEQUALITY… in convex geometry:Consider any two convex symmetrical shapes in any number of dimensions that are centered on the same point, which forms a target. Darts thrown at the target will land in a bell curve or“Gaussian distribution” of positions. The overlap of the two shapes increases your probability (P) of striking both.[Equation: see sample graphic]… in multivariate statistics:Consider a sample of people’s weights and heights plotted on x-y axes. Because these variables are correlated, the odds that someone’s weight and height will both fall within a combined range is greater than or equal to the product of the independent odds of falling in each range. (The general inequality holds for any number of variables.)
