Consider an out measure μ {\displaystyle \mu } on X {\displaystyle X} . Define
M = { A ⊆ X : A is μ − measurable } {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}=\{A\subseteq X:A{\text{is}}\ \mu -{\text{measurable}}\}} .
Then M {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}} is a σ {\displaystyle \sigma } -algebra and μ ∗ {\displaystyle \mu ^{*}} is a measure on M {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}} .
