We reexamine basic aspects of a nonequilibrium steady state in the Kondo problem for a quantum dot under a bias voltage using a reduced density matrix, which is obtained in the Fock space by integrating out one of the two conduction channels. The integration has been carried out by discretizing the conduction channels preserving the two-fold degeneracy due to the left-going and right-going scattering states. The remaining subspace is described by a single-channel Anderson model, and the statistical weight is determined by the reduced density matrix. In the noninteracting case, it can be constructed as the mixed states that show a close similarity to the high-temperature distribution in equilibrium. Specifically, if the system has an inversion symmetry, the one-particle states in an energy window between the two chemical potentials \mu_R and \mu_L are occupied, or unoccupied, completely at random with an equal weight. The Coulomb interaction preserves these aspects, and the correlation functions can be expressed in a Lehmann-representation form using the mixed-state statistical weight.
