- The conditional probability of E given that F occurs is P(EF)=___________. So in rolling a die the conditional probability of the event E, getting a six, given that the event F, getting an even number, has occurred is P(EF)=___________.arrow_forwardSuppose that ƒ is a uniform joint probability density function on0 ≤ x 6 2, 0 ≤ y < 3. What is the formula for ƒ? What is theprobability that X < Y?arrow_forwardVerify that p(x) = 3x - 4 is a probability density function on [1, oo)and calculate its mean value.arrow_forward
