Step 1
From the provided information, the marginal probability distribution of both the random variables X and Y are given.
Since both the variables are independent, the condition probability distribution of Y given X is equal to the marginal probability distribution of Y that is,
P(Y|X)=P(Y)
=fy(y),0y1
Step 2
The required probability can be calculated as:
P(Y|X>2)=P(Y>2)=0
Thus, the probability is 0 because the range of Y is from 0 to 1 only.
