Differentiability of jump functions

Let
jn(x)={0if x<xn,θnif x=xn,1if x>xn, For some 0θn1,  then the jump function is defined as
J(x)=n=1αnjn(x). with n=1αn<.
Theorem.  If  J is the jump function, then J(x) exists and vanishes almost everywhere.  (non-zero in a set of measure zero, E={x:J(x)0,xB},m(E)=0 ).

Typical a probability distribution F is defined as a nondecreasing, right continuous function with F()=0,F()=1.
