Hi,
I would like some help with this problem

If X1 and X2 are two discrete random variables with joint probability distribution given by the following bivariate table.(table attached)

1-Find the conditional probability distribution of X2 given X1
.
thank you

Dontcha want to take a crack at it and show us what you've got?

(By the way, if memory serves you aren't going to have just one conditional probability distribution. Rather, you're going to have one for each value of x_1).
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
