Question 14157: Block-Constant Values Give Conditioning Measurability

Original question and givens

Use one complete finite probability space with outcome indices 0 through 3, aligned masses=[25/49, 10/49, 10/49, 4/49], values X=[-6, 3, 8, 6], and conditioning-block labels=[0, 1, 1, 2]. Masses are nonnegative and total exactly 1. Block labels describe a partition of this same space; list block summaries in increasing label order and outcomes in original index order. Conditional expectation is constant on each positive-mass block, with its weighted mean, and preserves every block integral. A zero-mass block is only determined almost surely: return a.s._arbitrary, never divide by zero. Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, omitting /1 for integers. Give (conditional_values,block_rows,measurable?). Each block row is [label,indices,distinct_conditional_values,constant?].

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.

conditional model whole mass sum := sum(25/49, 10/49, 10/49, 4/49)

conditional model whole mass sum = 1

block0 original weighted integral := sum(-150/49)

block0 original weighted integral = -150/49

block0 positive-mass conditional mean := div(-150/49, 25/49)

block0 positive-mass conditional mean = -6

block label=0;indices=[0];positive mass=25/49;weighted integral=-150/49

block1 mass := sum(10/49, 10/49)

block1 mass = 20/49

block1 atom1 weighted X := mul(10/49, 3)

block1 atom1 weighted X = 30/49

block1 atom2 weighted X := mul(10/49, 8)

block1 atom2 weighted X = 80/49

block1 original weighted integral := sum(30/49, 80/49)

block1 original weighted integral = 110/49

block1 positive-mass conditional mean := div(110/49, 20/49)

block1 positive-mass conditional mean = 11/2
