Original question and givens

Use the explicit Bernoulli symbolic family with interior limit p=19/30, 0<p<1. The whole parameter tail must stay in [0,1]. The Bernoulli CDF is 0 below 0, 1−p on [0,1), and 1 at or above 1. With this interior limit its only jumps are at 0 and 1; the definition requires CDF convergence only at its continuity points. A chosen coupling is not required, and convergence in probability, almost surely or in Lp is not inferred. Keep exact reduced rationals, omitting /1 for integers. threshold=6/7. Give (p,threshold,continuity_point?,definition_obligation). The obligation is CDF_convergence_required_here or limit_CDF_jump_no_requirement_from_definition.

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 · calculation

Before

interior Bernoulli limit mass at0 := sub(1, 19/30)

After

interior Bernoulli limit mass at0 = 11/30

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from original roles and established intermediates,retaining indices,signs,denominators and the operation's carrier.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

original limit parameter=[19, 30];reduced p=19/30;mass at0=11/30;mass at1=19/30

After

both endpoint masses positive;only limit-CDF jumps at0 and1;registered interior projection

Conditions: none

Honor the source English restriction0<p<1,so both jumps genuinely have positive mass.Although the raw oracle allows endpoint parameters,do not extend this continuity-point protocol to degenerate distributions;their jump sets require separate analysis.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Bernoulli_interior_English_guard_not_degenerate_jump_set · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

interior limit p=19/30;exact threshold=6/7;jump set=[0, 1]

After

limit CDF continuity point=Yes;definition obligation=CDF_convergence_required_here

Conditions: none

Convergence in distribution requires convergence at every continuity point of the limit CDF.A jump point is not required by the definition;this is not a claim of failure there,and continuity is not decided from one n.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: convdist_limit_continuity_obligation_not_convergence_failure · Uses: G001, S002

Reverse checks

  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute interior Bernoulli limit mass at0 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.

Result

(19/30, 6/7, Yes, CDF_convergence_required_here)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
