Original question and givens

Use complete theta values=[0, 1], samples=[a, b], theta/sample-aligned probability rows=[[6/8, 2/8], [2/8, 6/8]], and sample-aligned closed intervals=[[0, 0], [1, 1]]. The interval procedure is total, precommitted and independent of the unknown theta. The declared target is=1/3. Give (pointwise_coverage_table, minimum_coverage, target, uniform_target_met, minimum_definition).

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.

derived = [[pointwise_coverage_table, minimum_coverage, target, uniform_target_met, minimum_definition]]

Conditions: none

Bind intervals to ORIGINAL samples and probability rows/columns to ORIGINAL theta/samples BEFORE sorting those data together.Source13 theta order is numeric and sample order English canonical.Intervals are ordered and closed;each theta law is nonnegative and normalized.The same precommitted,total I(X) does not depend on unknown theta.

Conditions: none

A uniform target requires EVERY theta;on this finite carrier this is equivalent to minimum coverage>=target.Keep the source rational target without inventing a[0,1] restriction;a target>1 can simply fail.

Result

([[0, 3/4], [1, 3/4]], 3/4, 1/3, Yes, worst_case_is_minimum_over_finite_theta)

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