Joint probability distribution - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_probability_distributionGiven random variables , that are defined on the same probability space, the joint probability distribution for is a probability distribution that gives the probability that each of falls in any particular range or discrete set of values specified for that variable. In the case of only two random variables, this is called a bivariate distribution, but the concept generalizes to any number of random variables, gi…

ocw.mit.edu › courses › mathematics1. Understand what is meant by a joint pmf, pdf and cdf of two random variables. 2. Be able to compute probabilities and marginals from a joint pmf or pdf. 3. Be able to test whether two random variables are independent. 2 Introduction In science and in real life, we are often interested in two (or more) random variables at the same time.
