## Original question and givens

Use declared mean=19/20, positive finite variance=20/21, 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=1/21, delta=1/29. Give (epsilon, delta, N, chebyshev_bound_at_N, strict_delta_tail, certificate).

## Step-by-step derivation

S001 · impliesBefore

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

Conditions: none

S002 · impliesBefore

original common finite mean=19/20;POSITIVE finite variance=20/21;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.

S003 · impliesBefore

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=420/12181;NOT event probability,NOT equality,NOT clipped to1

Conditions: none

Chebyshev divides the variance of this same average by epsilon squared.An upper bound above1 is valid but loose,not an event probability.Do not clip the source value to1;the statement remains conditional on the declared whole-sequence premise.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: wlln_Chebyshev_raw_upper_bound_not_probability_value · Uses: G001, S015





S017 · impliesBefore

positive epsilon=1/21;delta=1/29;EXACT threshold=12180;floor=12180;N=12181;bound_at_N=420/12181;previous bound=1/29

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 · impliesBefore

SAME declared whole IID premise;positive epsilon=1/21;positive delta=1/29;chosen positive N=12181;bound_at_N=420/12181<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.
