If all moments of a non-negative random variable X are larger than those of Y, is P(X>x) larger than P(Y>x)? $X$ and $Y$ are two non-negative continuous random variables. The moments of $X$ are $\mu_i$ while that of $Y$ are $\nu_i$.
We know that $\mu_1=\nu_1$ and $\mu_i \ge \nu_i$ for $i=2,3,\ldots$
Can one then show that $P(X>x) \ge P( Y>x)$ for $x\ge \mu_1$?
We do know that
$$ \mu_i=i\int_{0}^{\infty} x^{i-1} P(X>x) dx \ge  i\int_{0}^{\infty} x^{i-1} P(Y>y) dx = \nu_i$$ for all $i$.
It holds for the special case where $\nu_i=0$ for $i=2,3,\ldots$
 A: The conclusion does not follow.  The family of distributions described at How is the kurtosis of a distribution related to the geometry of the density function? gives a counterexample.  These are densities $f_{k,s}$ all of which have identical moments.  If we were, then, to shift one of them by some positive amount, all its moments would (strictly) increase.  Here is a plot of their distribution functions $F_{k,s}$ (evaluated numerically):

Clearly neither dominates the other, even though all the moments of the red distribution exceed those of the black distribution.

For those who would like to experiment with this family, here is the R code used to create these plots.
f <- function(x, k=0, s=0) {
  ifelse(x <= 0, 0, dnorm(log(x)) * (1 + s * sin(2 * k * pi * log(x))) / x)
}
ff <- Vectorize(function(x, k=0, s=0, ...) {
  integrate(\(y) f(y, k, s), 0, x, ...)$value
})
curve(ff(x), 0, 4, lwd = 2, ylim = 0:1, 
      ylab = "Probability", xlab = expression(italic(x)), cex.lab = 1.25)
curve(ff(x - 0.01, 1, 3/4), add = TRUE, lwd = 2, col = "Red")

A: The higher moments say relatively little about the behaviour of the distribution at small values. The tails have a lot of influence on a distribution.
You can see this in particular with distributions that have infinite higher moments.
For example compare a Frechet distribution with location = 1, scale = 1 and shape = 1.5 (this has finite mean but infinite variance) to an exponential distribution with equal mean.
