The author states the following generalization of inequalities of \textit{A. M. Ostrowski} [Aequationes Math. 4, 358-373 (1970; Zbl 0198.081)]. Let f,g be differentiable, monotonic in the same sense, p integrable, and \((A)\quad 0\leq \int^{x}_{a}p(t)dt\leq \int^{b}_{a}p(t)dt,\) \((B)\quad | f'(x)| \geq m,\quad | g'(x)| \geq r\) on \([a,b].\) Then \[ (C)\quad \int^{b}_{a}p(x)dx\int^{b}_{a}p(x)f(x)g(x)dx- \int^{b}_{a}p(x)f(x)dx\int^{b}_{a}p(x)g(x)dx\geq \] \[ mr[\int^{b}_{a}p(x)dx\int^{b}_{a}p(x)(x-a)^ 2dx- (\int^{b}_{a}p(x)(x-a)dx)^ 2]. \] If f and g are monotonic in the opposite sense or if the inequalities in (B) are opposite, then the inequality in (C) is opposite too. Finite sum analogues of these results are also established and applied to obtain generalizations of Popoviciu's and Ky Fan's inequalities, among others. \{In his formula (2) the author may mean that there \textit{exist} \(\xi,\eta\) such that this equality holds.\}
