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, -23), (1, -23), (2, 24), (3, 1021)}. In the displayed order of S, the nonnegative probability weights are [1/(28), 24/(28), 3/(28), 0/(28)], summing exactly to one. Find P(X=1021) exactly as a reduced fraction p/q with positive denominator.

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-point-mass, rv_point_mass]

After

derived = [probability_of_complete_value_fibre]

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), [-23, -23, 24, 1021]]

After

derived = [[[0, -23], [1, -23], [2, 24], [3, 1021]]]

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 · calculation

Before

RV ORIGINAL all aligned numerator weights := sum(1, 24, 3, 0)

After

RV ORIGINAL all aligned numerator weights = 28

Conditions: none

Perform exact rational arithmetic on the ORIGINAL roles.SAFE bounds raw inputs only;derived integers are unbounded and never approximated by floats.

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

source roles = [[[0, -23, 1], [1, -23, 24], [2, 24, 3], [3, 1021, 0]], 28, 1021]

After

derived = [28, [[0, -23, 1, No], [1, -23, 24, No], [2, 24, 3, No], [3, 1021, 0, Yes]]]

Conditions: none

Nonnegative weights on the SAME S must sum to den>0.P(X=t) adds the COMPLETE fibre,including repeated X values and zero weights;range size is not the denominator.

S005 · calculation

Before

RV ORIGINAL matching slot3 outcome3 mass := sum(0, 0)

Before

source roles = [[[0, -23, 1], [1, -23, 24], [2, 24, 3], [3, 1021, 0]], 1021, 0, 28]

After

derived = [0/1]

Conditions: none

An unattained value has empty-fibre sum0 and probability0/1.Otherwise add all matching terms and divide by the ORIGINAL denominator.Reduction preserves the event;integer probabilities retain/1.
