Suppose $Y$ is a continuous random variable with probability density function $f(y)=192over y^4$, for $ygeq 4$ ($0$ otherwise). If the conditional distribution of X given $Y = y$ is a uniform distribution on $[0, y]$. Find the conditional probability density function of $Y$ given $X = x$.



My clue is that:
$$f_Y(x|y)=f_X,Y(x,y)overf_Y(y)=1over y$$
then we get $$f_X,Y(x,y)=192over y^5$$
$$f_Y(y|x)=f_X,Y(x,y)overf_X(x)$$
But I don't know how to find the domain of $Y$ in terms of $X$ to get $f_X(x)$.

Am I on the right track?

          Note that the expression for the joint density $f_X,Y(x,y)$ that you computed only holds for $x$ and $y$ satisfying $x ge 0$ and $y ge maxx, 4$; it is zero otherwise. Thus for $x ge 0$ we have
          $$f_X(x) = int_-infty^infty f_X,Y(x,z) , dz = int_maxx, 4^infty frac192z^5 , dz.$$




          Continuing the computation leads to
          $$f_X(x) = 48 maxx, 4^-4 = begincases48 / 4^4 & x in [0, 4] \ 48 / x^4 & x > 4endcases$$
          So,
          $$int_0^infty f_X(x) , dx = 4 cdot frac484^4 + int_4^infty frac48x^4 , dx
          = frac34 + frac164^3 = 1.$$

          I'm still quite confused about the domain. Do you mean $f_X(x)$ will have two case, one is x=[0,4] and the other is x=[4,∞]? If I get $f_X(x)$ in this way, when I integral $f_X(x)$ in both case, I can't get the summation to 1. How does that happen?
