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.
In general, if Xand Yare two random variables, the probability distribution that de nes their si-multaneous behavior is called a joint probability distribution. Shown here as a table for two discrete random variables, which gives P(X= x;Y = y). x 1 2 3 1 0 1/6 1/6 y 2 1/6 0 1/6 3 1/6 1/6 0 Shown here as a graphic for two continuous ran-
