Original question and givens

The nonempty finite sample space is S={0, 1, 2, 3}, with event family F=𝒫(S). The total function X:S→R has table {(0, -15), (1, -15), (2, 17), (3, 17)}. Find X(3), reading only the function value without assigning unspecified probabilities.

  • G001 — The nonempty finite sample space is S={0, 1, 2, 3}, with event family F=𝒫(S). The total function X:S→R has table {(0, -15), (1, -15), (2, 17), (3, 17)}. Find X(3), reading only the function value without assigning unspecified probabilities.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [qf-random-variable-evaluation, rv_evaluate]

After

derived = [value_at_original_outcome]

Conditions: none

Use the declared scalar/set/Yes-No/fraction answer role;integer fractions retain/1.Do not add an undeclared domain or change original bilingual data,formulas or questions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: R56_source_answer_role_and_EXACT_family_interface · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [[0, 1, 2, 3], powerset(S), [-15, -15, 17, 17]]

After

derived = [[[0, -15], [1, -15], [2, 17], [3, 17]]]

Conditions: none

Align each value with the ORIGINAL S slot,not independently sorted columns.The full powerset contains every preimage of this real-valued function,hence measurability.No invented uniform weights are needed for a value,range or event.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: RV_full_powerset_measurability_ORIGINAL_outcome_value_alignment · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

source roles = [3, [[0, -15], [1, -15], [2, 17], [3, 17]]]

After

derived = [3, 17]

Conditions: none

First require s in S,then use its ORIGINAL slot to read X(s),not the same numeric index after sorting.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: RV_evaluate_actual_member_and_raw_slot · Uses: G001, S002

Reverse checks

  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check EACH original datum and premise,retaining indices,signs and strict/non-strict boundaries.A correct final answer cannot replace the derivation obligations.This is candidate teaching/exact checking,not formal proof or publication clearance.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check EACH original datum and premise,retaining indices,signs and strict/non-strict boundaries.A correct final answer cannot replace the derivation obligations.This is candidate teaching/exact checking,not formal proof or publication clearance.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check EACH original datum and premise,retaining indices,signs and strict/non-strict boundaries.A correct final answer cannot replace the derivation obligations.This is candidate teaching/exact checking,not formal proof or publication clearance.

Result

17

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
