Abstract
In this paper, we will extend the expected value of the function w.r.t the uniform probability measure on sets measurable in the Caratheodory sense to be finite for a larger class of functions, since the set of all measurable functions with infinite or undefined expected values may form a prevalent subset of the set of all measurable functions. This means "almost all" measurable functions have infinite or undefined expected values. Before we define the specific problem in section 2, with a unique solution that allows "more" functions to have finite expected values, we'll outline some preliminary definitions. We'll then define the specific problem in section 2 (with a partial solution in section 3) to visualize the complete solution to the problem. Along the way, we will ask a series of questions to clarify our understanding of the paper.
