摘要
We give elementary derivations of the various inequalities collectively known as Chernoff bounds. Chernoff bounds are strong upper bounds on the probability of obtaining very few or very many heads in series of independent coin tossings. This note aims at making known results and their proofs accessible to a wider audience; it contains little or no new material. © 1990.
