When I use the following code on stats.stackexchange.com (which is powered by MathJax) the \le does not render properly. Is this a bug in MathJax or am I not using the \le symbol properly?
$X_3 =
\begin{cases}
X_{31} & \mbox{if }Y_1 Y_2 \mbox{ > 0} \\\
X_{32} & \mbox{if }Y_1 Y_2 \mbox{ \le 0}
\end{cases}$
A little late to the party, but she makes up for it in compactness. Not being a mathjax user, I don't know if it carries over to it or not.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stackengine,scalerel,amssymb}
\def\dclesize{\ThisStyle{\raisebox{-.7pt}{\scalebox{1.45}{$\SavedStyle\bigcirc$}}}}
\def\dcle{\ensurestackMath{\stackon[0pt]{\leqq}{\dclesize}}}
\def\cle{\def\stacktype{L}\mathbin{\scalerel*{\dcle}{\dclesize}}}
\begin{document}
$A \cle B _ {A \cle B _ {A \cle B}}$
\end{document}
I'm trying to answer it in a simple way utilizing Wikipedia:
MathJax is a cross-browser JavaScript library that displays mathematical notation in web browsers, using MathML, LaTeX and ASCIIMathML markup.
That means that MathJax is a software that works in your browser on some text which is marked up using different techniques. One of them is a LaTeX-like notation. In general it is independent of usual LaTeX binaries and the most part of the markup LaTeX provides.
LaTeX on the other hand is referred to as document preparation system. It is also used as term for the markup language that's used to write the document. In general LaTeX is a) a TeX format (so the markup language) and b) an executable that processes documents in (a) into the DVI format.

use
\lein math mode, e.g.\mbox{if $Y_1 Y_2 \le 0$}(yes, that's math mode inside text)use T1 font encoding to get the > symbol correctly typeset in text mode:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}Otherwise, with standard OT1 encoding, the output wouldn't be > except you use math mode as well:$>$On standard LaTeX you should also use
\text{...}rather than\mbox{...}.
