## Original question and givens

Use one complete finite probability model with aligned exact masses=[6/49, 8/49, 15/49, 20/49] 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

S001 · calculationBefore

event model whole mass total := sum(6/49, 8/49, 15/49, 20/49)

After

event model whole mass total = 1

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from the original roles and complete established operands,without changing pairings,order or replacing guards by approximation.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001





S002 · impliesBefore

complete carrier Fin(4);raw aligned masses=[[6, 49], [8, 49], [15, 49], [20, 49]]

After

normalized masses=[6/49, 8/49, 15/49, 20/49];nonnegative=Yes;total=1

Conditions: none

Qualify one complete finite PMF with nonnegative atoms and exact total1.Zero-mass atoms remain in the carrier;complements are not taken only within positive-mass support.

S003 · impliesBefore

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

After

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

Conditions: none

Events are carrier-index sets,normalized without dropping zero-mass labels.Intersection requires the same label in A and B.This differs from coordinate-value events in a joint table.

S004 · calculationBefore

A mass := sum(15/49, 20/49)

After

B mass = 4/7

Conditions: none

A intersection B mass = 20/49

Conditions: none

S008 · impliesBefore

P_A=5/7;P_B=4/7;P_intersection=20/49;product=20/49

After

two-event independent=Yes

Conditions: none

The primary definition is intersection probability equal to the marginal product,not disjointness.Do not assume independence before multiplying.This checks two events,not mutual independence of a larger family.

S009 · calculationBefore

A complement mass := sum(6/49, 8/49)

After

A complement mass = 2/7

After

original independence residual = 0

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from the original roles and complete established operands,without changing pairings,order or replacing guards by approximation.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S011





S013 · calculationBefore

complement independence residual := sub(8/49, 8/49)

After

complement independence residual = 0

Conditions: none

S014 · impliesBefore

full carrier=[0, 1, 2, 3];A complement=[0, 1];P_Ac=2/7;P_AcB=8/49

After

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

Conditions: none

A and its complement partition the carrier;intersecting with B partitions B.Hence the two probability identities hold.The complement residual is the negative original residual,so audit and retain both flags whether the original passes or fails.
