Reason: Stage 2 of the partial-information CLT chain: reflection invariance of Lebesgue measure and symmetry of the standard normal distribution, needed for general-coefficient Gaussian linear combinations.

Statement

For a subset AA of the real line R\mathbb{R} write A={x:xA}-A=\{-x:x\in A\}. Let λ\lambda^{*} be the Lebesgue outer measure, λ\lambda Lebesgue measure, B(R)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}) the Borel σ\sigma-algebra, and NN the standard normal distribution. Then:

1. (Reflection invariance of Lebesgue measure) For every ARA\subseteq\mathbb{R}, λ(A)=λ(A)\lambda^{*}(-A)=\lambda^{*}(A). For every Borel set BB, the reflected set B-B is Borel and λ(B)=λ(B)\lambda(-B)=\lambda(B).

2. (Reflection invariance of the standard normal distribution) For every Borel set BB,

N(B)=N(B).N(-B)=N(B).

3. (Symmetry) If ZZ is a standard normal random variable on a probability space, then Z-Z is a standard normal random variable.
