The main result of the paper is the following Ostrowski type inequality. Let \(X\) be a random variable taking values in the finite interval \([a,b]\), with expectation \(E(X)\). Then we have the inequality \[ \biggl |\Pr (X\leq x)-\frac{b-E(X)}{b-a}\biggr|\leq \frac{1}{2}+\frac{|x-\frac{a+b}{2}|}{b-a} \] for all \(x\in [a,b]\). An application for a Beta random variable is also given.
