If $m^*(E)=0$, prove that $m^*(E_n)=0$ for each $n$
0
Define $displaystyle m^*(E)=infleft{sum_{n=1}^inftyell(I_n):Esubsetbigcup _{n=1}^infty I_nright}$ . Let $E=bigcup_{n=1}^infty E_n$ . Suppose $m^*(E)=0$ . Prove that $m^*(E_n)=0$ for every $n$ . My attempt: Since $m^*(E)=0$ , $E$ is a countable set. This means each of the $E_n$ is also countable and so $m^*(E_n)=0$ for all $n$ . QED Is this correct?
