On a set X, let μ* be an outer measure and μ the measure induced by μ*. We show that if X is a finite set, then the measure μ is saturated. We give two examples of non-regular outer measures on an infinite set X which induce non-saturated and saturated measures, respectively. These answer a query posed by Wilansky.
