Let $S$ be the number of successes in $n$ independent Bernoulli trials, where $p_j$ is the probability of success on the $j$th trial. Let $\mathbf{p} = (p_1, p_2, \cdots, p_n)$, and for any integer $c, 0 \leqq c \leqq n$, let $H(c \mid \mathbf{p}) = P\{S \leqq c\}$. Let $\mathbf{p}^{(1)}$ be one possible choice of $\mathbf{p}$ for which $E(S) = \lambda$. For any $n \times n$ doubly stochastic matrix $\Pi$, let $\mathbf{p}^{(2)} = \mathbf{p}^{(1)}\Pi$. Then in the present paper it is shown that $H(c \mid \mathbf{p}^{(1)}) \leqq H(c \mid \mathbf{p}^{(2)})$ for $0 \leqq c \leqq \lbrack\lambda - 2\rbrack$, and $H(c \mid \mathbf{p}^{(1)}) \geqq H(c \mid \mathbf{p}^{(2)})$ for $\lbrack\lambda + 2\rbrack \leqq c \leqq n$. These results provide a refinement of inequalities for $H(c \mid \mathbf{p})$ obtained by Hoeffding [3]. Their derivation is achieved by applying consequences of the partial ordering of majorization.
