Let $p_i,j;igeq 1, jgeq 1$ be a joint probability distribution, and $p_i,cdot;igeq 1$ and $p_cdot,j;jgeq 1$ be two corresponding marginal distributions. Does the following inequality always hold?
$$ left(sum_i,jp_i,j^2-sum_ip_i,cdot^2 times sum_jp_cdot,j^2right)^2leq
left(sum_i,jp_i,j^2-sum_i,jp_i,j^2 times sum_i,jp_i,j^2right)^2$$



Note that the troublesome issue in proving this inequality (if it is true) is that the expression within the parenthesis on the left, $sum_i,jp_i,j^2-sum_ip_i,cdot^2 times sum_jp_cdot,j^2$, could be positive (in which case the proof is easy) or negative (in which case I don't see a proof).
