The famous arithmetic mean-geometric mean inequality says that for any positive numbers a1, a2,...,an,

Show that this inequality follows from Jensen’s inequality, by considering E log(X) for an r.v. X whose possible values are a1,...,an (you should specify the PMF of X; if you want, you can assume that the aj are distinct (no repetitions), but be sure to say so if you assume this).

Jensen´s inequality is a generalization of the fact that the graph of a one-variable real
convex f
unction is always below the secant straight line that joins the extremes of the graph
over the corresponding interval. In equations, it can be written as:
