Question 4123: Every Weighted Expectation Contribution

Original question and givens

S={0,…,2}, F=P(S), masses=[23, 2, 1], D=26, and w_i=mass_i/D. Masses are nonnegative and sum exactly to D; uniform weights are not assumed. X=[-22, 2, 0] 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

total mass numerator := sum(23, 2, 1)

total mass numerator = 26

indexed masses=[23, 2, 1];D=26

probabilities=[23/26, 1/13, 1/26]

X weighted numerator0 := mul(23, -22)

X weighted numerator0 = -506

X contribution0 := div(-506, 26)

X contribution0 = -253/13

X weighted numerator1 := mul(2, 2)

X weighted numerator1 = 4

X contribution1 := div(4, 26)

X contribution1 = 2/13

X weighted numerator2 := mul(1, 0)

X weighted numerator2 = 0

X contribution2 := div(0, 26)

X contribution2 = 0
