Original question and givens

Use common outcomes=Fin(4)={0,…,3}, parameter indices=Fin(2)={0,…,1}, complete exact law rows=[[1/21, 2/21, 3/21, 15/21], [2/25, 3/25, 4/25, 16/25]], and one total parameter-independent statistic T=[0, 0, 14, 15] in outcome order. Every law is nonnegative and sums to1. For each parameter, add law masses over each T-fibre; list the distinct statistic values increasingly, retaining zero-mass fibres. A parameter law, a sampling law and an observed estimate are different objects; no prior or posterior is supplied. Give (statistic, claim_marker_1, claim_marker_2, claim_marker_3, claim_marker_4, boundary).

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 · implies

Before

source operation=sampling-property-nonconclusion;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[statistic, claim_marker_1, claim_marker_2, claim_marker_3, claim_marker_4, boundary]

Conditions: none

Retain the historical interface marker in the original snapshot while listing ordered source fields here,without JavaScript or external lookup.Field names are not mathematical evidence,and No retains the operation's specific claim scope.

S002 · calculation

Before

sampling parameter0 full law mass := sum(1/21, 2/21, 1/7, 5/7)

After

sampling parameter0 full law mass = 1

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles and established intermediates exactly,retaining parameter,outcome,target and denominator roles without replacing the claim.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

sampling:original parameter SLOT=0;same outcome carrier Fin(4);ALL aligned law masses=[1/21, 2/21, 1/7, 5/7]

After

full sum=1;all masses nonnegative=Yes;qualified probability law;zero-mass outcomes retained

Conditions: none

Each complete parameter law must separately be nonnegative and total1.Keep zero-mass outcomes in the original table;do not normalize across parameter rows to invent a prior or posterior.

S004 · calculation

Before

sampling parameter1 full law mass := sum(2/25, 3/25, 4/25, 16/25)

After

sampling parameter1 full law mass = 1

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles and established intermediates exactly,retaining parameter,outcome,target and denominator roles without replacing the claim.

Before

sampling:original parameter SLOT=1;same outcome carrier Fin(4);ALL aligned law masses=[2/25, 3/25, 4/25, 16/25]

After

full sum=1;all masses nonnegative=Yes;qualified probability law;zero-mass outcomes retained

Conditions: none

Each complete parameter law must separately be nonnegative and total1.Keep zero-mass outcomes in the original table;do not normalize across parameter rows to invent a prior or posterior.

S006 · implies

Before

sampling:parameter SLOT carrier Fin(2);common outcome carrier Fin(4);ONE total original statistic array=[0, 0, 14, 15]

After

T takes only the observation index,not the unknown parameter;SAME function at all parameter slots;its sampling law may still vary with the slot

Conditions: none

Functional parameter-independence is different from a parameter-free distribution of T(X).Use the same original statistic value at every outcome rather than changing T between laws.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_statistic_definition_not_distribution_free · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · implies

Before

same total statistic=[0, 0, 14, 15];all parameter laws qualified;no target/asymptotic sequence/prior supplied

After

four literal No markers WITHHOLD statistical,likelihood and posterior claims;not four named tests or proved negations

Conditions: none

The four No values are not four failed tests.Without a target,an asymptotic sequence of statistics or a prior,do not derive bias,low-variance,consistency,likelihood or posterior claims from the definition.

Reverse checks

  • S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • 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 — Recompute sampling parameter1 full law mass with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • 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 — Recompute sampling parameter0 full law mass with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

([0, 0, 14, 15], No, No, No, No, no_unbiased_low_variance_consistency_likelihood_or_posterior_claim)

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