Here we no longer assume Ω is countable. We assume given Ω and a σ-algebra A⊂(2Ω. (Ω, A) is called a measurable space. We want to construct probability measures on A. When Ω is finite or countable we have already seen this is simple to do. When Ω is uncountable, the same technique does not work; indeed, a “typical” probability P wih have P({ω|)=0 for all ω, and thus the family of all numbers P({ω|) for ω∈Ω does not characterize the probability P in general.
