Hi Steve
The following will give you some ideas (note that I haveI have repaired your CapSigma).
mean1 = 5.8;
sigma1 = 0.2;
mean2 = 5.3;
sigma2 = 0.2;
rho = 0.6;
mu = {mean1, mean2}
CapSigma = {{sigma1^2, rho*sigma1*sigma2} , {rho*sigma1*sigma2, sigma1^2}}
dist = MultinormalDistribution[mu, CapSigma]
pdf = PDF[dist, {x, y}]
plot1 = Plot3D[pdf, {x, 4, 7}, {y, 4, 7}, PlotRange -> All]
pdfConditional = (PDF[dist, {x, y}] /. {x -> 6.3})/ Integrate[ PDF[dist, {x, y}] /. {x -> 6.3}, {y, 4, 7} ] // Simplify
plotConditional = Plot[pdfConditional, {y, 4, 7}, PlotRange -> All]
meanConditional = Integrate[ y pdfConditional, {y, 4, 7} ]
sdConditional = Sqrt[ Integrate[ (y - meanConditional)^2 pdfConditional, {y, 4, 7} ]]
Cheers
Barrie
