Original question and givens

Use declared mean=15/16, positive finite variance=16/17, and iid_certificate=symbolic_all_finite_subfamilies. In the symbolic theorem families this marker supplies the premise of common mean/variance and IID for every finite subfamily of the whole sequence; a token or finite simulation is not independent proof of that premise. Independence then gives Var(sample mean_n)=variance/n and Chebyshev controls P(|sample mean_n−mean|≥epsilon). This finite-variance WLLN slice claims convergence in probability, not the strong law, CLT or finite-n equality with a limit. Positive epsilon=1/17, delta=1/25. Give (epsilon, delta, N, chebyshev_bound_at_N, strict_delta_tail, certificate).

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=wlln-epsilon-delta-witness;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[epsilon, delta, N, chebyshev_bound_at_N, strict_delta_tail, certificate]

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.

Rule: source_ordered_interface_explicit_without_javascript · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

original common finite mean=15/16;POSITIVE finite variance=16/17;whole-sequence iid_certificate=symbolic_all_finite_subfamilies

After

ASSUME for EVERY finite subfamily the declared independence and identical law/common moments;marker declares a premise,NOT independent evidence that a real sequence satisfies it

Conditions: none

The marker is a premise of this problem,not proof of IID by a string or finite data.What follows is conditional on a whole sequence satisfying that premise,not a Lean proof or certification of empirical data.

Rule: wlln_whole_IID_declared_premise_not_token_proof · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

for ANY positive integer n:sample_mean_n=(X1+...+Xn)/n;every Xi has the SAME mean and variance;distinct Xi,Xj independent

After

linearity gives E(sample_mean_n)=mean;centered products have zero expectation for i!=j;Var(sample_mean_n)=(n*variance)/n^2=variance/n

Conditions: none

Finite variances ensure integrability of the products.Independence factors every distinct centered cross term into0*0,leaving n diagonal variance terms.Scaling by1/n squared gives variance/n for arbitrary n,not a deduction from one observed average matching the mean.

After

P(abs(sample_mean_n-mean)>=epsilon)<=RAW bound=272/6801;NOT event probability,NOT equality,NOT clipped to1

After

P(abs(sample_mean_n-mean)>=epsilon)<=RAW bound=1/25;NOT event probability,NOT equality,NOT clipped to1

S017 · implies

Before

positive epsilon=1/17;delta=1/25;EXACT threshold=6800;floor=6800;N=6801;bound_at_N=272/6801;previous bound=1/25

After

strict Chebyshev comparison holds at N and fails at preceding positive index;least BOUND-BASED N,not necessarily least true-probability cutoff

Conditions: none

The bound is below delta iff n>variance/(delta epsilon squared),so floor+1 is required even at integral thresholds.Previous failure proves minimality for this Chebyshev bound,not for the actual unknown event probability.

S018 · implies

Before

SAME declared whole IID premise;positive epsilon=1/17;positive delta=1/25;chosen positive N=6801;bound_at_N=272/6801<delta

After

for EVERY n>=N,Chebyshev bound variance/(n*epsilon^2)<=bound_at_N<delta;therefore convergence in PROBABILITY under the declared premise

Conditions: none

The positive denominator increases with n,so the bound holds for every later n.Choosing N for arbitrary positive epsilon and delta gives convergence in probability under the premise.This neither promotes a finite prefix to an IID certificate nor additionally asserts a strong law,CLT or finite-n equality with the limit.
