Theorem

Let $X$ be an uncountable set.

Let $\AA$ be the $\sigma$-algebra of countable sets on $X$.


Then the co-countable measure $\mu$ on $X$ is a probability measure.


Proof

By Co-Countable Measure is Measure, $\mu$ is a measure.


By Relative Complement with Self is Empty Set, have $\relcomp X X = \O$.

As $\O$ is countable, it follows that $X$ is co-countable.

Hence $\map \mu X = 1$, and so $\mu$ is a probability measure.
