It is known that, broadly put, any subset of N-2 can serve as an uncorrelatedness set. This claim is no longer valid for random variables with prescribed distributions, in which case the need arises so as to identify the possible uncorrelatedness sets. This paper studies the uncorrelatedness sets for positive random variables uniformly distributed on three points. Some general features of these sets are derived. Two related Vandermonde-type determinants are examined and applied to describe uncorrelatedness sets in some special cases.
