I came across this thread: >>16065884 yesterday and was wondering whether the conditional probability equation posted was correct, and if not, why?

I don't believe it is since [math] \mathcal{U}(0, \infty) [/math] isn't normalisable, so not a distribution. Probability isn't my strong point, so I could be wrong.

can't it be converted to a normal distribution or will the resulting integral not be integtrable?

I don't think so, but even if it could, part of the question is "all numbers have an equal chance of being chosen". So a normal distribution would violate that.

i don't think you are getting me, a uniform distribution has an equivalent normal distribution form, just like binomial, bernoulli, etc evaluating it to this doesn't make it normal, it just makes it convenient for analysis, it's like converting dy/dx into a fraction of limits, is this a fraction, of course not

The more you know. But I still don't think it would work, the issue is that original "distribution" isn't a distribution at all.

how do you know when you don't understand probability well enough?

I don't, that's what I said "I don't think ti would work". Just my thinking based on what I know, which could be insufficient to properly answer the question.

there is no uniform distribution on the integers. If x had a 0.00001% chance of happening then everything would and that adds up to too much. So everything would have to be 0 probability and then it adds to 0, not 1

I don't understand your statement, you can make the probability small enough to account for any set regardless of it's cardinality, the fact that you chose the probability to prove your point means i can also do the same
