I know it's reasonable that $\frac{X}{E[X]}\approx 1$ , but how can I show it? I thought about Chebyshev's inequality but didn't get far.
Thanks.

As ShreevatsaR already wrote: $\frac{X}{\mathbb{E}X}$ can be arbritarily large. What you are maybe thinking of is the Strong Law of Large Numbers: Let $X_n \in L^1$ ($n \in \mathbb{N}$) identically distributed and independent random variables, then
$\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n} \to \mathbb{E}X_1 \quad \text{a.s.}$
(So if you for example an experiment (like throwing a dice) and you repeat this (independently) very very often, the average of your results will be close to the expectation value.)
