For a fixed sample , its Empirical Rademacher complexity is
Its sample expected value is .
Because every takes values in , replacing one sample point changes by at most . Put
The lower-tail form of the Bounded differences inequality gives
outside an event of probability at most .
For the excess-loss supremum from part (b), replacing one observation changes by at most . A second application of the same inequality gives
outside another event of probability at most . On the intersection of these two events, symmetrization and the union bound yield
This event has probability at least , and . Thus
