I got stuck while solving this problem. First of all, i tried to prove directly from definition, but this doesnt led anywhere. Perhaps Jensen inequality may help? But we dont have convexity of f or of g. Any ideas on how we can tackle this problem?

          Let $X$ and $Y$ be iid, then we have



          $$E[(f(X)-f(Y))(g(X)-g(Y))] ge 0$$



          $$E[f(X)g(X)+f(Y)g(Y)-f(Y)g(X)-f(X)g(Y)] ge 0$$



          $$E[f(X)g(X)]+E[f(Y)g(Y)]-E[f(Y)g(X)]-E[f(X)g(Y)] ge 0$$



          By independence,



          $$E[f(X)g(X)]+E[f(Y)g(Y)]-E[f(Y)]E[g(X)]-E[f(X)]E[g(Y)] ge 0$$



          Since $X$ and $Y$ are identically distributed



          $$E[f(X)g(X)]+E[f(X)g(X)]-E[f(X)]E[g(X)]-E[f(X)]E[g(X)] ge 0$$



          $$2E[f(X)g(X)]-2E[f(X)]E[g(X)] ge 0$$



          $$E[f(X)g(X)] ge E[f(X)]E[g(X)]$$

            For every real number $x$, $(f(X)-f(x))(g(X)-g(x)) geq 0$, thus $mathbb{E}[f(X)g(X)] + f(x)g(x) geq f(x)mathbb{E}[g(X)] + g(x)mathbb{E}[f(x)$.



            Then integrate wrt $dP_X$.
