1 STATISTICS: MODULE Chapte - Bivaiate o joit pobabilit distibutios I this chapte we coside the distibutio of two adom vaiables whee both adom vaiables ae discete (cosideed fist) ad pobabl moe impotatl whee both adom vaiables ae cotiuous. Bivaiate o joit distibutios model the wa two adom vaiables va togethe. A. DISCRETE VARIABLES Eample. Hee we have a pobabilit model of the demad ad suppl of a peishable commodit. The pobabilit model/distibutio is defied as follows: Suppl of commodit (SP) Demad fo commodit (D) This is kow as a discete bivaiate o joit pobabilit distibutio sice thee ae two adom vaiables which ae "demad fo commodit (D)" ad "suppl of commodit (SP)". The sample space S cosists of 5 outcomes (d, s) whee d ad s ae the values of D ad SP. The pobabilities i the table ae joit pobabilities, amel P( D d ad SP s) o P( D d SP s) usig set otatio. Eamples Note: The sum of the 5 pobabilities is.. Joit pobabilit fuctio Suppose the adom vaiables ae ad, the the joit pobabilit fuctio is deoted b p ad is defied as follows: p P( ad ) o P( )

Suppose the pobabilit fuctios of ad ae p ( ) ad p ( ) espectivel so that p ( ) P( ) ad p ( ) Also p ( ) ad p ( ). P( ) It is quite staightfowad to obtai these these fom the joit pobabilit distibutio p p, p p, sice ( ) ( ) ad ( ) ( ) I egessio poblems we ae ve iteested i coditioal pobabilit distibutios such as the coditioal distibutio of give ad the coditioal distibutio of give.4 Coditioal pobabilit distibutios The coditioal pobabilit fuctio of give is deoted b p( ) is defied as p( ) P( ) ( ) P( ) P ad ( ) p wheeas the coditioal pobabilit fuctio of give is deoted b p( ) ad defied as p( ) P( ) ( ) P( ) P ad p ( ) p p.5 Joit pobabilit distibutio fuctio The joit (cumulative) pobabilit distibutio fuctio (c.d.f.) is deoted b F(, ) ad is defied as F(, ) P( ad ) ad 0 F(, ) The magial c.d.f s ae deoted b F ( ) ad F ( ) F ( ) P( ) ad F ( ) (see Chapte, sectio. ).

CONTINUOUS VARIABLES.7 Joit pobabilit desit fuctio The joit p.d.f. is deoted b f (, ) (whee f (, ) 0 all ad ) ad defies a pobabilit suface i dimesios. Pobabilit is a volume ude this suface ad the total volume ude the p.d.f. suface is as the total pobabilit is i.e. f d d d b ad P( a b ad c d ) c a f d d As befoe with discete vaiables, the magial distibutios ae the distibutios of ad cosideed sepaatel ad model how ad va sepaatel fom each othe. Wheeas with discete adom vaiables we speak of magial pobabilit fuctios, with cotiuous adom vaiables we speak of magial pobabilit desit fuctios. Eample. A electoics sstem has oe of each of two diffeet tpes of compoets i joit opeatio. Let ad deote the adom legths of life of the compoets of tpe ad, espectivel. Thei joit desit fuctio is give b ( ) / f (, ) e ; + > 0 > othewise
