The events , for , are pairwise disjoint. Their union is , and the integers form a countable set. By countable additivity,Countability is the necessary justification: one cannot apply this argument to an arbitrary uncountable union of zero-probability singletons. This is a special case of countable sets have zero probability under a density.
