@AnikKumar: Most people normally wouldn't have difficulty with probabilities on the real numbers. E.g., there is a target with two regions, the bullseye with radius 1 and a concentric region with radius 2. What is the probability of a randomly-thrown dart hitting the bullseye, given that it hits the target? Most people would say that since the area of the bullseye is 1/4 the area of the target, the probability is 1/4. Wouldn't you say that, too?
