Question 14013: A Selected Pair of Value Events under the Same Joint Law

Original question and givens

Use the complete joint grid with original x_values=[0, 25], y_values=[2, 32], and aligned row-by-column exact masses=[[16/49, 12/49], [12/49, 9/49]]. Value labels must be distinct in each nonempty list, all masses nonnegative and their total exactly 1. Preserve grid order and zero masses; all marginals, events and moments use this same law. Two-variable independence requires factorization for every grid pair; it implies neither identical distribution, IID, Markov behavior nor larger-family mutual independence. Use exact reduced rational outputs with positive denominators; omit /1 for integers. x_event=[0], y_event=[32] must use labels from their respective variable ranges. Normalize them as increasing distinct sets. Give (x_event,y_event,P_X_event,P_Y_event,P_joint,product,equal?).

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

joint grid model whole mass sum := sum(16/49, 12/49, 12/49, 9/49)

joint grid model whole mass sum = 1

joint grid model:raw aligned masses=[[16, 49], [12, 49], [12, 49], [9, 49]]

normalized masses=[16/49, 12/49, 12/49, 9/49];nonnegative=Yes;total=1

original x row labels=[0, 25];original y column labels=[2, 32]

normalized aligned row-by-column joint grid=[[16/49, 12/49], [12/49, 9/49]]

X row0 marginal := sum(16/49, 12/49)

X row0 marginal = 4/7

X row1 marginal := sum(12/49, 9/49)

X row1 marginal = 3/7

Y column0 marginal := sum(16/49, 12/49)

Y column0 marginal = 4/7

Y column1 marginal := sum(12/49, 9/49)

Y column1 marginal = 3/7

raw x event=[0];raw y event=[32]

normalized events=[[0], [32]];original matching rows=[0];columns=[1]

selected X event mass := sum(4/7)

selected X event mass = 4/7

selected Y event mass := sum(3/7)

selected Y event mass = 3/7

selected joint event rectangle mass := sum(12/49)

selected joint event rectangle mass = 12/49

selected event marginal product := mul(4/7, 3/7)

selected event marginal product = 12/49

P_X_event=4/7;P_Y_event=3/7;P_joint=12/49;product=12/49

selected event pair factorizes=Yes;not an all-event independence certificate
