Definition (σ-algebra containing all Borel subsets)

Let (X,M,μ)(X,\mathscr{M},\mu) be a Measure Space, and let f:XRf:X\to \mathbb{R} be a M\mathscr{M}-Measurable Function. Consider N={ER:f1(E)M}\mathscr{N}=\{ E\subseteq \mathbb{R}:f^{-1}(E)\in\mathscr{M} \}. We say that N\mathscr{N} is a σ-algebra containing all Borel subsets of R\mathbb{R}.

Definition (Law)

Let (X,M,μ)(X,\mathscr{M},\mu) be a Measure Space, and let f:XRf:X\to \mathbb{R} be a M\mathscr{M}-Measurable Function. Let N\mathscr{N} be the of R\mathbb{R}. Now define μf:N[0,+]\mu_{f}:\mathscr{N}\to[0,+\infty] as μf(E):=μ(f1(E))EN\mu_{f}(E):=\mu(f^{-1}(E))\quad E\in\mathscr{N}Then μf\mu_{f} is a Measure and it is called the law of ff.
