Original question and givens

Use the complete list of distinct integer pairs=[[2, -1], [3, 0], [4, 1], [5, 6]] 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. Transform to aX+b and cY+d with [a,b,c,d]=[-3, 2, 2, -2]. Give (a,b,c,d,covariance,transformed_covariance,Cov(aX+b,cY+d)=ac Cov(X,Y)).
