Translation invariance and finite additivity in a probability measure on the natural numbers

Inspired by the two envelopes exchange paradox, a finitely additive probability measure m on the natural numbers is introduced. The measure is uniform in the sense that m({i})=m({j}) for all i,j∈ℕ. The measure is shown to be translation invariant and has such desirable properties as m({i∈ℕ|i≡0(mod2...
