When introducing the Extention Theorem the book said:



"Let $J$ be a semialgebra of subsets of $Omega$. Let P:$J$->[0,1] with P($emptyset$) = 0 and P($Omega$) = 1, satisfying the finite super additive property that.



P($bigcup_i=1^kA_i$)$geqsum_i=1^kP(A_i)$ whenever $A_1,...,A_k epsilon J$, and $bigcup_i=1^kA_iepsilon J $ and the $A_i are disjoint, and also the countable monotonicity property. "



I don't understand how this could be a probability measure. If I have these disjoint events, it shouldn't matter whether I take the probability of the union or the sum of the probability of the individual events. Under what circumstances would P($bigcup_i=1^kA_i$)$>sum_i=1^kP(A_i)$ be true?

    So far, $P$ is not a probability measure. It is merely a set-function with the stated properties. You are setting up to construct a measure $mu$, say. The strict inequality can hold only for non-measurable sets. If your original set-function $P$ has instances where $>$ holds, then either (1) some of the sets of $J$ will turn out to be non-measurable for $mu$ or (2) for some elements $E in J$ will we will get $mu(E) ne P(E)$.
