We wish to find a Lebesgue measurable subset of [0,1] that is in dense in [0,1] with measure exactly ϵ, where ϵ∈(0,1). My idea is to let I=(0,ϵ) and let I′=Q∩(ϵ,1). Then set A=I∪I′. Is this correct? If so, is there another such set?
Answer
Yes, that works fine. For an open dense set, put intervals of width 2−k+100ϵ around the k-th rational number (according to your favorite enumeration of Q∩(0,1)), adjusted appropriately if the interval doesn't lie in [0,1]. Then lengthen the interval around 1/2 as needed to make up the remaining measure.
