STAT 410 Examples for 09/12/2008 Fall 2008 Multivariate Distributions Let X and Y be two discrete random variables. The joint probability mass function p ( x , y ) is defined for each pair of numbers ( x , y ) by p ( x , y ) = P ( X = x and Y = y ) . Let A be any set consisting of pairs of ( x , y ) values. Then P ( ( X, Y ) A ) = ( ) ( ) ° ° y x A y x p , , . Let X and Y be two continuous random variables. Then f ( x , y ) is the joint probability density function for X and Y if for any two-dimensional set A P ( ( X, Y ) A ) = ( ) ±± A dy dx y x f , . 1. Consider the following joint probability distribution p ( x , y ) of two random variables X and Y: x \ y 0 1 2 1 0.15 0.15 0 2 0.15 0.35 0.20 a) Find P ( X + Y = 2 ) . b) Find P ( X > Y ) .

### What students are saying

• As a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I can find study resources for nearly all my courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and even share my old projects, papers, and lecture notes with other students.

• I cannot even describe how much Course Hero helped me this summer. It’s truly become something I can always rely on and help me. In the end, I was not only able to survive summer classes, but I was able to thrive thanks to Course Hero.

• The ability to access any university’s resources through Course Hero proved invaluable in my case. I was behind on Tulane coursework and actually used UCLA’s materials to help me move forward and get everything together on time.
