## Original question and givens

Use one common finite model with parameter indices=Fin(2)={0,…,1}, outcomes=Fin(3)={0,…,2}, complete candidate laws=[[1/19, 1/19, 17/19], [1/2, 1/3, 1/6]], and the single total statistic T=[0, 16, 32] in outcome order. Each law must be nonnegative and sum to 1 before model qualification. T depends on the observation, not the unknown parameter. An observed value is an estimate, while T is the estimator function; no prior or posterior is supplied. Qualified-model parameter index=1. Give (parameter, expectation, statistic).

## 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.

S001 · impliesBefore

source operation=estimator-expectation-at-parameter;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[parameter, expectation, statistic]

Conditions: none

Keep the historical interface marker in the original snapshot while giving ordered fields here,without JavaScript or an external table.Labels are not mathematical evidence,and each No marker retains the operation's claim scope.
