Can a probability P(X=.2) be found using a Uniform Distribution? Or just P(x<.2) and P(x>.2). Can area be finite?

If the distribution is continuous, then P(x = a particular value) is 0.

If the distribution is discrete, then P(x = a particular value) is:

number of possible outcomes with the particular value divided by total number of possible outcomes
