Is there a name for this probabilistic paradox?
Let $X\sim Exp(1)$ and $Y\sim Exp(\lambda)$, independent. Then,
\begin{align}
f_{X|Y=mX}(x) = \frac{f_{X,Y}(x,mx) }{\int f_{X,Y}(x,mx) \:dx }=\frac{f_X(x)f_Y(mx) }{\int f_X(x)f_Y(mx) \:dx } = \frac{e^{...

Crisis in my understanding of probability [duplicate]
If I were to roll a die, what would be the probability of getting $2$? Certainly it would be $\dfrac 16$ (because there are $6$ numbers and sample space contains 6 numbers)
But I think we can look ...
