Joint Distributions

Let X be discrete random variables, Then, the function
f(x,) = P(X = x )
is a probability mass function (p.m.f.)
For example:

• Joint Probability Mass Function


Let X and Y be two discrete random variables, Then, the function
h(x, y) = P(X = x , Y = y)
is a joint probability mass function (j.p.m.f.) if it satisfies the following
2 conditions:
0 h( x, y ) 1   h( x, y ) 1
x y

For example: h

• Marginal Distribution

Expectation
Let X and Y be discrete random variables with join p.m.f. h(x,y).

is the mean of X and Y.

Let X be discrete random variables with Marginal p.m.f g(x).

Let Y be discrete random variables with Marginal p.m.f g(y).
