Chapter 5: JOINT PROBABILITY . DISTRIBUTIONS . Part 1: Sections to For both discrete and continuous random variables we will discuss the JOINT DISTRIBUTIONS (for two or more 's). Marginal DISTRIBUTIONS (computed from a JOINT distribution). Conditional DISTRIBUTIONS ( P (Y = y|X = x)). Independence for 's X and Y. This is a good time to refresh your memory on double-integration. We will be using this skill in the upcom- ing lectures. 1. Recall a discrete PROBABILITY distribution (or pmf ) for a single X with the example be- x 0 1 2. f (x) Sometimes we're simultaneously interested in two or more variables in a random experiment. We're looking for a relationship between the two variables. Examples for discrete 's Year in college vs. Number of credits taken Number of cigarettes smoked per day vs.
In general, if Xand Yare two random variables, the probability distribution that de nes their si-multaneous behavior is called a joint probability
