Original question and givens

S={0,…,2}, F=P(S), masses=[10, 2, 1], D=13, and w_i=mass_i/D. Masses are nonnegative and sum exactly to D; uniform weights are not assumed. X=[-9, 2, -1] in index order. List w_i X_i in index order from 0, retaining zero terms. Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

  • G001 — S={0,…,2}, F=P(S), masses=[10, 2, 1], D=13, and w_i=mass_i/D. Masses are nonnegative and sum exactly to D; uniform weights are not assumed. X=[-9, 2, -1] in index order. List w_i X_i in index order from 0, retaining zero terms. Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

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 · calculation

Before

total mass numerator := sum(10, 2, 1)

After

total mass numerator = 13

Conditions: none

Nonnegative integer masses must sum to D for normalized weights.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

indexed masses=[10, 2, 1];D=13

After

probabilities=[10/13, 2/13, 1/13]

Conditions: none

Outcome indices start at0 and align masses with X and Y values.Retain zero-mass outcomes;negative random-variable values are allowed.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: indexed_normalized_expectation_model · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

X weighted numerator0 := mul(10, -9)

After

X weighted numerator0 = -90

Conditions: none

Multiply the mass by the value at the same index;deleting zero masses must not shift alignment.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

X contribution0 := div(-90, 13)

After

X contribution0 = -90/13

Conditions: none

Divide by the common positive denominator,retaining the index position of a zero contribution.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

X weighted numerator1 := mul(2, 2)

After

X weighted numerator1 = 4

Conditions: none

Multiply the mass by the value at the same index;deleting zero masses must not shift alignment.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · calculation

Before

X contribution1 := div(4, 13)

After

X contribution1 = 4/13

Conditions: none

Divide by the common positive denominator,retaining the index position of a zero contribution.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · calculation

Before

X weighted numerator2 := mul(1, -1)

After

X weighted numerator2 = -1

Conditions: none

Multiply the mass by the value at the same index;deleting zero masses must not shift alignment.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S006

S008 · calculation

Before

X contribution2 := div(-1, 13)

After

X contribution2 = -1/13

Conditions: none

Divide by the common positive denominator,retaining the index position of a zero contribution.

Result

[-90/13, 4/13, -1/13]

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