Under a product measure on a finite Boolean lattice, an increasing event E and a decreasing event G obey the displayed inequality. The complement Gc is an increasing event, so Harris' inequality gives P(E∩Gc)≥P(E)P(Gc). Subtract from P(E) to obtain the result. This implication includes degenerate Bernoulli distribution parameters 0 and 1.
