A simple question,
$P(X,Y=y_1)$ and $P(X|Y = y_1)$
are the same? (here, $X$ and $Y$ are random variables, and $y_1$ is a fixed variable of $Y$.)
The left is a marginal pdf from a joint pdf, and the right is a conditional pdf. The notations are different but to me, their conceptual meanings are the same.
