Binomial condition (S2)(S_2) conjecture

About 6 years old · traced to

Let nn and mm be positive integers with n>2mn>2m, and let XX be a binomial random variable with parameters nn and mn\frac{m}{n}:

X∼Bin⁡(n,mn).X\sim\operatorname{Bin}\left(n,\frac{m}{n}\right).

Binomial (S2)(S_2) conjecture. XX satisfies Condition (S2)(S_2).

If true, this would extend the range in which the paper's general theorem yields the Jogdeo–Samuels inequality, and may be viewed as a refinement of an older result of Simmons. The authors state that they are unable to verify the condition but believe it holds.
