Abstract: We consider the $p$-generalized arithmetic-geometric mean inequality for vectors chosen randomly from the $el{l}_p^n$-ball in $mathbb{R}^n$. In this setting the inequality can be improved or reversed up to a respective scalar constant with high probability, and central limit theorems and large deviation results with respect to this constant have been shown. We sharpen these large deviation results in the spirit of Bahadur and Ranga Rao, thereby providing concrete and asymptotically exact estimates on a non-logarithmic scale for the probability of the inequality being improvable or reversible up to a constant, respectively.
