This is from Bartle text book, and this page proves that the family $A^*$ of $mu^*$-measurable sets is $sigma$-algebra. I don't understand the red line. Could you elaborate on this?

          The simplest is just to draw a Venn diagram of $E,A,F$ and shade the areas involved.



          $B$ is defined as $A setminus (E cap F)$. Show that $B cap F = (A cap F) setminus E$ by two inclusions:



          Suppose $x in B cap F$, then $x in F$ and $x in B$, which means $x in A$ and $x notin E cap F$. We already know $x in F$ so $x notin E cap F$ implies that $x notin E$. So $x in A cap F$ and $x notin E$ so $x in (A cap F)setminus E$.



          Suppose that $x in (A cap F) setminus F$ then $x in A$, $x in F$ and $x notin E$. So $x notin E cap F$ and as we also have $x in A$ we know that $x in B$ and we already knew $x in F$ so that $x in B cap F$.



          Now $B setminus F = A setminus F$ can be seen in a similar way:



          $x in B setminus F$, then $x in B$ and $x notin F$. As $B subseteq A$ we know that $x in A setminus F$.



          If $x in A setminus F$, then $x notin E cap F$ so $x in A setminus (E cap F) = B$. Hence $x in B setminus F$.

          • Hi. Sorry for late comment, but how can we justify the last line "$xnot in Ecap F$, so $x in A cap (E cap F)^c$" ??

          • @SihyunKim $x in A setminus F$, so $x in A$ and $x notin F$. From $x notin F$ we know $x notin (E cap F)$. We still have $x in A$, so $x in A setminus (E cap F)$ by definition. The last set is the definition of $B$.
