I’m having issues understanding the first 2 lines of the proof, variance, E and how it gave the integration. Can you pls write a preliminary explaining those? Thanks.
### Chebyshev’s Inequality Proof

**Statement:**

\[ i.e \quad P(|x - \mu| \geq k \sigma) \leq \frac{1}{k^2} \]

**Proof:**

Let \( x \) be a continuous random variable.

\[
\sigma^2 = E[(x - \mu)^2]
\]

\[
= \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} (x - \mu)^2 f(x) \, dx
\]

The range is divided into three parts: from \(-\infty\) to \(\mu - k\sigma\), from \(\mu - k\sigma\) to \(\mu + k\sigma\), and from \(\mu + k\sigma\) to \(+\infty\).

\[
= \int_{-\infty}^{\mu - k\sigma} (x - \mu)^2 f(x) \, dx + \int_{\mu-k\sigma}^{\mu+k\sigma} (x-\mu)^2 f(x) \, dx + \int_{\mu+k\sigma}^{\infty} (x-\mu)^2 f(x) \, dx
\]
