Consider an out measure μ {\displaystyle \mu } on X {\displaystyle X} . Define
M = { A ⊆ X : A i s μ − m e a s u r a b l e } {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}=\{A\subseteq X:Ais\mu -measurable\}} .
Then M {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}} is a σ {\displaystyle \sigma } -algebra and μ ∗ {\displaystyle \mu ^{*}} is a measure on M {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}} .
