Original question and givens

Use the explicit finite discrete outcome list=[1, 2, 4] and aligned exact masses=[1/4, 1/4, 1/2]. Outcomes are distinct; preserve this original order and its mass pairing. Use exact rationals, normalize denominator signs, reduce fractions and omit /1 for integer outputs. Qualification requires every mass nonnegative and total exactly 1. A mathematical distribution is not evidence of empirical fit, estimation quality or a real population. This qualification family may supply negative or unnormalized masses to test rejection. Give (original outcomes,normalized rational masses,all masses nonnegative?,exact total,total equals 1?,qualified PMF?).

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.
