532 CHAPTER 20. PRODUCT MEASURES
12. Give a different proof of the above as follows. First suppose f is a simple function,f (ω) = ∑
nk=1 akXEk (ω) where the ak are strictly increasing, φ (a0) = a0 ≡ 0. Then
explain carefully the steps to the following argument.∫Ω
φ ◦ f dµ =n
∑i=1
∫φ(ai)
φ(ai−1)µ ([φ ◦ f > t])dt =
n
∑i=1
∫φ(ai)
φ(ai−1)

µ (Ek)dt

∑i=1
∫ ai
ai−1
φ′ (t)µ ([ f > t])dt =
∫∞
0φ′ (t)µ ([ f > t])dt
Note that this did not require the measure space to be σ finite and comes directlyfrom the definition of the integral.
13. Give another argument for the above result as follows.∫φ ◦ f dµ =
∫∞
0µ ([φ ◦ f > t])dt =
∫∞
0µ([
f > φ−1 (t)
])dt
and now change the variable in the last integral, letting φ (s) = t. Justify the easymanipulations.
