First intersect with a sufficiently large bounded interval to obtain a finite positive-measure set. By the Lebesgue density theorem, this set has a density-one point . Hence, for every , some sufficiently small interval centred at satisfies
which is the high-density interval in a positive-measure subset of the real line.
To obtain the final claim, choose , put , and translate into . Write
Part (f), after rescaling the interval length, gives
Thus contains an open interval around zero, which is the Steinhaus theorem.
