Use the complete list of distinct integer pairs=[[-7, -1], [-6, 0], [-5, 1], [-4, 2]] and their aligned exact masses=[1/8, 1/4, 1/8, 1/2] on one common finite probability space. Qualification requires every mass to be nonnegative and their exact sum to be 1; zero masses are allowed. Preserve pair-mass alignment. Marginals alone do not specify this joint law or imply independence. No continuous or infinite-support conclusion is claimed. Use exact reduced rational outputs with positive denominators; omit /1 for integers. Require a qualified joint table. Give (Cov_XY,Cov_YX,equal?).
G001 — Use the complete list of distinct integer pairs=[[-7, -1], [-6, 0], [-5, 1], [-4, 2]] and their aligned exact masses=[1/8, 1/4, 1/8, 1/2] on one common finite probability space. Qualification requires every mass to be nonnegative and their exact sum to be 1; zero masses are allowed. Preserve pair-mass alignment. Marginals alone do not specify this joint law or imply independence. No continuous or infinite-support conclusion is claimed. Use exact reduced rational outputs with positive denominators; omit /1 for integers. Require a qualified joint table. Give (Cov_XY,Cov_YX,equal?).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.
