Jun 12, 2022 at 0:42 comment added Gordon Smyth @NoName The definition I gave is correct. I suggest that you do some reading on the concepts of continuous probability distributions and density functions. You are confusing the density function with a probability mass function, which is what one would define for a discrete distribution.
Jul 20, 2021 at 22:15 comment added NoName But why $1$? Why can't it be $0.00001/A$? Since there can be an infinite amount of points in $A$, if you say $1/A$ and $A=100$, then you're saying that point $(x,y)$ account for 1% of the total area, which is not true because points have no area.
