Why is P(A,D_j) <= P(A)P(D_j) in the proof ?

Here is the fil with the PDF. Hope someone can help me!
Thank you!

I used that inequality sometime ago on a paper......

I just love the amount that publishers want to charge for one-off copies of PDFs of journal papers

Last time I had to buy a copy I was charged $21 for a half page from SIAM Review! CB 5. I thought about buying it, but I should have a copy here, jk. I was surprised that the first thing in google was a paper of mine from 93. I didn't think anyone read my crap. I always considered myself the Kilgore Trout of probability. Sandor Csorgo, passed away two years ago, sadly. He was so kind, in one paper to referenced nine of my papers. I was really proud of that. Talking about charging, lately I've had to pay page proofs. One colleague was charged over 500 Euro last year for that. 6. Originally Posted by CaptainBlack Last time I had to buy a copy I was charged$21 for a half page from SIAM Review!

... I should have added that it was a piece of crap and one day I may well write a paper explaining why, which of course will never be accepted for publication (particularly by SIAM Review who seem to have a downer on papers critical of stuff they have published, and by implication the very poor job that their peer reviewers and editors can do).

It is a way they can bleed funds out of a research grant (since a grant will cover such), but effectively blocking publication by those without such support.

But I finally went ahead and did so.
But I cannot find page 27
I see pages 161-285, I looked at chapter 27, but I couldn't find the inequality.
And even though it's not in English I can understand most of these theorems.
I may just open up Chow-Teicher and figure out what you're asking.

Well, I don't have any grants.
I used to have small ones, but they're gone.
I've been charged several times.
Usually my chair paid the fees, since they are decent journals.
But the last time, I was stuck with the bill.
That was annoying.
