Original question and givens

Use parameter indices=Fin(2)={0,…,1} and one shared outcome space=Fin(3)={0,…,2}, with the complete parameter-by-outcome candidate law table=[[1/19, 1/19, 17/19], [1/2, 1/3, 1/6]]. Every row must be nonnegative and sum exactly to 1 before the table qualifies as a statistical model. Keep parameter and observation roles distinct even when their numeric indices agree. A likelihood fixes the observed outcome and varies the parameter; no prior, posterior, identifiability or inferential optimality is implied. Rational computations are exact. Give (parameter_count,outcome_count,law_rows,qualified?,common_sample_space). Each row is [parameter,probability_entries,row_sum,row_qualified?] in original parameter order.

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

parameter0 complete outcome mass sum := sum(1/19, 1/19, 17/19)

After

parameter0 complete outcome mass sum = 1

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from original roles and established intermediates,retaining denominators,signs,indices and strict conditions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

original parameter row=0;SAME outcome carrier Fin(3);original aligned rational entries=[[1, 19], [1, 19], [17, 19]]

After

reduced rational candidate entries=[1/19, 1/19, 17/19];sum=1;nonnegative=Yes;row qualified=Yes

Conditions: none

Every parameter needs a complete nonnegative unit-mass law on the same sample space.Invalid candidate rows retain their values and false flags;the name law table does not normalize them.

After

reduced rational candidate entries=[1/2, 1/3, 1/6];sum=1;nonnegative=Yes;row qualified=Yes

S005 · implies

Before

original parameter carrier Fin(2);common outcome carrier Fin(3);ALL original row audits=[[0, [1/19, 1/19, 17/19], 1, Yes], [1, [1/2, 1/3, 1/6], 1, Yes]]

After

whole model qualified=Yes;common_sample_space;no parameter prior or posterior supplied

Conditions: none

Conjoin all row qualifications.Parameter indices do not thereby become a probability-distributed random variable.No parameter prior or posterior is supplied;do not normalize across parameters by default.

Reverse checks

  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute parameter1 complete outcome mass sum with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • 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 parameter0 complete outcome mass sum with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.

Result

(2, 3, [[0, [1/19, 1/19, 17/19], 1, Yes], [1, [1/2, 1/3, 1/6], 1, Yes]], Yes, common_sample_space)

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