Original question and givens

Use the complete normalized finite law masses=[1/13, 2/13, 10/13, 0/1], aligned values X=[3, 4, 6, 102] and complete disjoint partition=[[0, 1], [2, 3]] covering every atom. Values are integrable in this finite model. Cell order and atom order are retained; independence is not required. Conditional quotients require strictly positive cell mass. Give (cell_rows, weighted_sum, mean, equal).

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.
