Original question and givens

Use the explicit finite discrete outcome list=[16, 17, 19] 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. Require a qualified PMF. Images=[1, 2, 1] align with the original outcomes. Give (original outcomes,masses,original image list,every [image,combined mass] row in increasing image order). Retain even a listed image whose combined mass is zero.

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.
