Replacing WP
I replaced the WP import by a new article, and added an example (test results) previously inserted by Anh Nguyen (3rd revision, 10:11, 8 November 2006). Peter Schmitt 16:03, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Not quite so
The implication
is not always true; when k is at the left endpoint of the relevant interval, the first inequality is not strict; and when k is at the right endpoint of the relevant interval, the second inequality is not strict. In addition, I did not understand from the article, is k assumed to be integral, or not? If it is then these non-strict inequalities become more rare cases, but still possible.
