On a probability space, the same inequality reads
E∣XY∣≤(E∣X∣p)1/p(E∣Y∣q)1/q.

If the displayed moments are finite, the product is an integrable random variable. The random variables can be dependent: the estimate controls their possible overlap without assuming a factorization of the expected value. This is useful when a calculation needs the product to be integrable but the joint probability distribution is complicated.
