joint probability distribution
given two random variables that are defined on the same probability space, the joint probability distribution is the corresponding probability distribution on all possible pairs of outputs. it is denoted by 
for any
, let
be a real random variable. for any finite subset
, let
then
is called the joint distribution function of
. the probability measure
on
is called the joint distribution of
