Question

Let (Ω,F,P) be a probability space.

(a)  Show that the set Fa.s. := {A ∈ F; P(A) = 0 or 1} is a σ-algebra.

(b)  Let X : (Ω, Fa.s.) → (R, B) be a random variable. Prove that there is a unique x ∈ R such that P({X = x}) = 1.

Hint: Be careful, there are plenty of real valued random variables such thatP({X=x})=0forallx∈R. TryusetheCDFofX.
