Question 12941: Audit Complement Independence without Assuming the Original Flag

Original question and givens

Use one complete finite probability model with aligned exact masses=[18/49, 24/49, 3/49, 4/49] on Fin(4)={0,…,3}. Masses must be nonnegative and sum exactly to 1; do not assume uniformity. Events A=[2, 3], B=[1, 3] are carrier-label sets, normalized by removing duplicates and sorting numerically. The primary definition is P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B); conditional formulas require positive conditioning probability. Only two-event independence is checked, not mutual independence of a larger family. Use exact reduced rational outputs with positive denominators; omit /1 for integers. Take A_complement in the same full carrier. Give (original_independent?,A_complement,P_complement,P_complement_intersection_B,product,complement_independent?).

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

event model whole mass total := sum(18/49, 24/49, 3/49, 4/49)

event model whole mass total = 1

complete carrier Fin(4);raw aligned masses=[[18, 49], [24, 49], [3, 49], [4, 49]]

normalized masses=[18/49, 24/49, 3/49, 4/49];nonnegative=Yes;total=1

raw carrier events A=[2, 3];B=[1, 3];carrier size=4

normalized A=[2, 3];B=[1, 3];intersection=[3]

A mass := sum(3/49, 4/49)

A mass = 1/7

B mass := sum(24/49, 4/49)

B mass = 4/7

A intersection B mass := sum(4/49)

A intersection B mass = 4/49

event product P_A times P_B := mul(1/7, 4/7)

event product P_A times P_B = 4/49

P_A=1/7;P_B=4/7;P_intersection=4/49;product=4/49

two-event independent=Yes

A complement mass := sum(18/49, 24/49)

A complement mass = 6/7

A complement intersection B mass := sum(24/49)

A complement intersection B mass = 24/49

complement product P_complement times P_B := mul(6/7, 4/7)

complement product P_complement times P_B = 24/49

original independence residual := sub(4/49, 4/49)

original independence residual = 0

complement independence residual := sub(24/49, 24/49)

complement independence residual = 0

full carrier=[0, 1, 2, 3];A complement=[0, 1];P_Ac=6/7;P_AcB=24/49

P_Ac=1-P_A;P_AcB=P_B-P_AB;complement residual=0=-(original residual=0)
