Let $X$, $Y$ be independent random variables, $E\left(\left|X\right|^p\right)<+\infty$ where $p\geq 1$ and $E(Y)=0$. Show that $E\left(\left|X+Y\right|^p\right)\geq E(\left|X\right|^p)$, where $E\left(\cdot\right)$ stands for expectation.

0@cheng: If you have a proof, you could write it yourself as an answer, wait a reasonable amount of time to see whether people agree with it, then *accept* your answer. – 2011-07-28
