[R] Regarding Bivariate normal distribution.

[Viechtbauer Wolfgang (STAT)]

No, x and y are not unique. In fact, there is an infinite number of x and y pairs that are roots to the equation P[X<x, Y<y] = 0.05.

Dear all R gurus,

My question is related to statistics rather directly to R. Suppose
(X,Y) has a bivariate normal distrubution. I want to find two values of X and Y say x, and y respectively, such that:

P[X<x, Y<y] = 0.05

My questions are :

1. Can x and y be uniquely found?
2. If it is, how I can find them using R

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
