Theorem probcun

Description: The probability of the union of a countable disjoint set of events is the sum of their probabilities. (Third axiom of Kolmogorov) Here, the sum_ construct cannot be used as it can handle infinite indexing set only if they are subsets of ZZ , which is not the case here.
