[ chapter 5. MultivariateProbability Distributions] and Multivariate Probability and Conditional Probability random expected value of a function of ran-dom Covariance of two random Moments of linear combinations ofrandom Multinomial Probability Bivariate normal IntroductionSuppose thatY1,Y2,...,Yndenote the outcomesofnsuccessive trials of an set of outcomes, or sample measure-ments, may be expressed in terms of the inter-section ofnevents(Y1=y1),(Y2=y2),...,(Yn=yn)whic h we will denote as(Y1=y1,Y2=y2,...,Yn=yn)or more compactly, as(y1,y2,...,yn).Calculation of the Probability of this intersec-tion is essential in making inferences about thepopulation from which the sample was drawnand is a major reason for studying multivariateprobability Bivariate and Multivariate probabil-ity distributionsMany random variables can be defined over thesame sample space.
