Symmetric Difference of Events is Event

Theorem
Let $\mathcal E$ be an experiment with a probability space $\struct {\Omega, \Sigma, \Pr}$.

The event space $\Sigma$ of $\mathcal E$ has the property that:
 * $A, B \in \Sigma \implies A \ast B \in \Sigma$

That is, the symmetric difference of two events is also an event in the event space.
