Abstract: The paper deals with an approach to solving the 6th Hilbert problem based on interpreting the field of random events as a partially ordered set endowed with a natural order of random events obtained by formalization and modification of the frequency definition of probability. It is shown that the field of events forms an atomic generated, complete, and completely distributive Boolean algebra. The probability distribution of the field of events generated by random variables is studied. It is proved that the probability distribution generated by random variables is not a measure but only a finitely additive function of events in the case of continuous random variables (both rational- and real-valued).
