Original question and givens

Use the declared standard-normal law with Gaussian density phi(x)=(2*pi)^(-1/2)*exp(-x^2/2) and its continuous CDF Phi. Gaussian normalization, mean0 and variance1 remain explicitly named theorem facts, not results of finite quadrature in this slice. Use x=-8. Give (x, CDF_symmetry_identity, CDF_at_zero, declared_symmetry_certificate, boundary).

  • G001 — Use the declared standard-normal law with Gaussian density phi(x)=(2*pi)^(-1/2)*exp(-x^2/2) and its continuous CDF Phi. Gaussian normalization, mean0 and variance1 remain explicitly named theorem facts, not results of finite quadrature in this slice. Use x=-8. Give (x, CDF_symmetry_identity, CDF_at_zero, declared_symmetry_certificate, 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 roles = [normaldist-cdf-symmetry]

After

derived = [[x, CDF_symmetry_identity, CDF_at_zero, declared_symmetry_certificate, boundary]]

Conditions: none

List the full source field order without JavaScript.LP boundary modes all have6 fields but select different roles from the original mode,not answer shape.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_fields_without_JS · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

Gaussian ORIGINAL x squared := mul(-8, -8)

After

Gaussian ORIGINAL x squared = 64

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles and established intermediates exactly,without rounding or substituting a single observation.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

Gaussian square times exact half := mul(64, 1/2)

After

Gaussian square times exact half = 32

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles and established intermediates exactly,without rounding or substituting a single observation.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

source roles = [-8, -32]

After

derived = [(2*pi)^(-1/2)*exp(-32), phi(x)=(2*pi)^(-1/2)*exp(-x^2/2), normalization is a NAMED Gaussian integral premise]

Conditions: none

Exact rational arithmetic computes only the exponent−x^2/2;retain exp and its normalization factor symbolically.The whole Gaussian law and normalization are declared premises,not proved by one density value.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Gaussian_WHOLE_declared_density_symbolic_value_named_normalization · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

source roles = [-8, 8, even continuous density and declared integral1]

After

derived = [Phi(8)=1-Phi(-8), Phi(0)=1/2, Yes]

Conditions: none

Substitute u=−t to turn the lower tail to−x into the upper tail from x;evenness keeps the density.A continuous law has no point atom and the declared total integral1 gives1−Phi(x).At0 the equal halves give1/2,not a general nonzero elementary CDF value.

Reverse checks

  • 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 — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Gaussian square times exact half with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Gaussian ORIGINAL x squared 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

(-8, Phi(8)=1-Phi(-8), Phi(0)=1/2, Yes, declared_normalization_plus_even_density_implies_CDF_symmetry_but_no_nonzero_elementary_CDF_value)

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