Dirac Measure is Probability Measure

Theorem

Let $\struct {X, \AA}$ be a measurable space.

Let $x \in X$, and let $\delta_x$ be the Dirac measure at $x$.

Then $\delta_x$ is a probability measure.

Proof

By Dirac Measure is Measure, $\delta_x$ is a measure.

Also, $\map {\delta_x} X = 1$ because $x \in X$.

Hence $\delta_x$ is a probability measure.
