Let X be a single observation from the density [tex]f\left(x;\theta\right) = \theta x^{\theta -1}I_{(0,1)} (x)[/tex], where [tex]\theta > 0[/tex]. What is the [tex]P\left[X \geq \frac{1}{2} |\theta > 1|\right][/tex]?

Please help me structure the solution of this problem

What do you mean by

[tex] P\Big(X \ge \frac 1 2 |\theta > 1 |\Big)[/tex]
