Abstract: The Diaz-Metcalf and Pólya-Szego inequalities are proved in the probabilistic setting. These results generalize the classical case for both sums and integrals. Using these results we obtain some other well-known inequalities in the probabilistic setting, namely the Kantorovich, Rennie, and Schweitzer inequalities.
