    HELP geometric probability: area of a square and conditional probability

    Thanks for your answer, Mark 44. Let's assume that a square has equilateral sides (which it does, usually). That means that y=x! So P(y>x)= 0 Right! Also, P(y<1/2) = .5, right?? I'm still pretty lost, any help is appreciated! :) Dania

    HELP geometric probability: area of a square and conditional probability

    Homework Statement Chose a point at random in a square with sides 0<x<1 and 0<y<1. Let X be the x coordinate and Y be the y coordinate of the point chosen. Find the conditional probability P(y<1/2 / y>x). Homework Equations No clue. The Attempt at a Solution Apparently, according...
