          Example 3 Consider the sample space associated with the single toss of a fair die. The sample space is given by .

           If we define the random variable that associates a real number equal to the number on the face of the die, then .

   Probability Space Induced by a Random Variable

           The random variable induces a probability measure on defined by

                                           

           The probability measure satisfies the three axioms of probability:
