	abstract = {The Chernoff{\textendash}Hoeffding bounds are fundamental probabilistic tools. An elementary approach is presented to obtain a Chernoff-type upper-tail bound for the number of prime factors of a random integer in { 1 , 2 , {\textellipsis} , n } . The method illustrates tail bounds in negatively-correlated settings.},
