Original question and givens

S=Fin(3)={0,…,2}; F consists of unions of complete disjoint nonempty blocks=[[0, 1], [2]]. Candidate E=[0, 1]⊆S. Give (is E a union of whole blocks?, partially hit block-member lists, smallest F set containing E). Sort inside each block and order blocks numerically lexicographically.

  • G001 — S=Fin(3)={0,…,2}; F consists of unions of complete disjoint nonempty blocks=[[0, 1], [2]]. Candidate E=[0, 1]⊆S. Give (is E a union of whole blocks?, partially hit block-member lists, smallest F set containing E). Sort inside each block and order blocks numerically lexicographically.

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

S=Fin(3)=[0, 1, 2];declared event model=partition_unions

After

finite S alone does not specify its event family or a probability law

Conditions: none

A finite sample space does not automatically choose F=P(S).Use the declared event family;set data alone give no probabilities,equiprobability or independence.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: declared_finite_event_family · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

ordered blocks=[[0, 1], [2]];S=[0, 1, 2]

After

nonempty,pairwise disjoint blocks cover S exactly

Conditions: none

Verify nonempty disjoint blocks covering all S;an arbitrary family of subsets is not automatically a partition.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: complete_event_partition_premise · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

block=[0, 1];E selects=[0, 1]

After

hit=Yes;whole block selected=Yes

Conditions: none

A member of F must include or omit each entire block.A partial hit is still a subset of S but is not in this declared F.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: partition_event_block_audit · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

block=[2];E selects=[]

After

hit=No;whole block selected=No

Conditions: none

A member of F must include or omit each entire block.A partial hit is still a subset of S but is not in this declared F.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: partition_event_block_audit · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

partial blocks=[];all hit blocks=[[0, 1]]

After

qualified event=Yes;smallest containing F-set=[0, 1]

Conditions: none

Any block-union containing E must include every hit block.Their union itself belongs to F,so it is the smallest containing F-set,not a closure in an unspecified topology.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: partition_union_minimal_event_hull · Uses: G001, S004

Reverse checks

  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(Yes, [], [0, 1])

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