Setup, from Q33 of the paper: Suppose X and Y are independent random variables that follow the uniform distribution on the interval [0,1]. Let Z=min {X,Y}. Pr (Z<0.5) (the probability that Z is less than 0.5) equals (Same setup: X,Y i.i.d. U[0,1], Z=min {X,Y} .) Pr (Z<0.5| X=0.75) is (A) 0.25 (B) 0.5 (C) 0.625 (D) undefined.
