## 1. Every Centered Variance Contribution

S={0,…,2}, F=P(S), masses=[1, 0, 2], D=3, and w_i=mass_i/D. Masses are nonnegative and sum exactly to D; uniform weights are not assumed. X=[4, 99, 4] in index order. First take μ=E[X]; list w_i(X_i−μ)² in index order, without omitting zeros. Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

View answer and explanation[0/1, 0/1, 0/1]

Find the exact mean, square each deviation, then weight it; a differing zero-weight value still contributes zero. These are finite probability quantities, not sample-variance estimates. The exact result, retaining the requested order, is [0/1, 0/1, 0/1].

S={0,…,7}, F=P(S), masses=[0, 0, 0, 0, 6, 2, 0, 0], D=8, and w_i=mass_i/D. Masses are nonnegative and sum exactly to D; uniform weights are not assumed. X=[100, 101, 102, 103, 0, 6, 106, 107] in index order. Use the X value at the first positive-mass index as reference. Return the first positive-mass index with a different X value, or none; indices start at 0.

View answer and explanation5

Ignore differing zero-weight values when checking constancy on positive support. These are finite probability quantities, not sample-variance estimates. The exact result, retaining the requested order, is 5.
