Solution: 1/2*[1-ln(1/2)] or .846574 and confirmed by monte carlo


Method:

xy < .5

y<.5/x   *now integrate the area which the condition is true within the event space x{0,1} & y{0,1}

Y = 1/2*ln(x)    *from x{0,.5} the area under the curve is the same as event space's


Probability = Area of event space from x{0,.5} + Area under curve 1/2*ln(x) from x{.5,1}

Probability = 1/2   +    [0-1/2*ln(1/2)]

Probability= 1/2*[1-ln(1/2)]
