Using the theory of conditional probability associated with de Finetti (1974) and Dubins (1975), subject to several structural assumptions for creating sufficiently many measurable sets, and assuming that is not a weakly inaccessible cardinal, we show that each probability that is not additive has conditional probabilities that fail to be conglomerable in a partition of cardinality no greater than . This generalizes a result of Schervish, Seidenfeld, and Kadane (1984), which established that each finite but not countably additive probability has conditional probabilities that fail to be conglomerable in some countable partition.

Consider a finitely, but not necessarily countably additive probability P() defined on a -field of sets B, with sure-event . That is, <, B, P> is a (finitely additive) measure space. Let B, C, D, E, F, G B , with B and F G . Definition 1. A finitely additive conditional probability function P(| B), satisfies the following three conditions: (i) 0 P(C D | B) = P(C | B) + P(D | B), whenever C D = ; (ii) P(B | B) = 1 Moreover, following de Finetti (1974) and Dubins (1975), in order to regulate conditional probability given a non-empty event of unconditional or conditional probability 0, we require the following. (iii) P(E F | G) = P(E | F G)P(F | G). As is usual, we identify the unconditional probability function P( ) with P(| ) and refer to P() as a probability function. Call event B P-null when P(B) = 0 This account of conditional probability is not the usual theory from contemporary Mathematical Probability. It differs from the received theory of Kolmogorovian regular conditional distributions in four ways: 1. The theory of regular conditional distributions requires that probabilities and conditional probabilities are countably additive. The de Finetti/Dubins theory requires only that probability and conditional probability is finitely additive. In this paper, we bypass most of this difference by exploring de Finetti/Dubins conditional probabilities associated with countably additive unconditional
