Difference between integration of pdf in joint probability and conditional probability

29 Views Asked by At

What is the difference in $\Pr(X>aY+b, Y>c)$ and $\Pr(X>aY+b|Y>c)$ in terms of the integration of the their pdf.
X and Y are indpendent RV.

$$ P(X>aY + b, Y>c) = \int_{c}^\infty\int_{ay+b}^{\infty} dF_X(x) dF_Y(y)$$ where $dF_X(x)= f_X(x) dx$ and $dF_Y(y)= f_Y(y) dy$ if both variables are abs. continuous. $$ P(X>aY+b | Y>c) = \frac{P(X>aY+b , Y>c)}{P(Y>c)} $$ where $P(Y>c) = \int_c^\infty dF_Y(y)$. If X and Y are independent then $f_{X|Y}(x,y) = f_X(x)$.
