Let (X, Y) have a (p+q)‐dimensional normal distribution and let C, K be convex symmetric sets of dimensions p, q respectively. Under certain restrictions on the mean vector it is shown that P(X ε C, Y ε K) is a monotonically increasing function of the first canonical correlation coefficient between X and Y, provided the remaining coefficients are zero.
