The joint probability function for two variables is a probability function whose domain is a subset of two dimensional space. The joint probability function for discrete random variables X and Y is given as
pr(x, y) = pr(X = x and Y = y). If X and Y are independent random variables then this will equal pr(X =x)*pr(Y = y).
For continuous variables, the joint funtion is defined analogously:
f(x, y) = pr(X < x and Y < y).

What is marginal probability function?
If f(x, y) is the joint probability distribution function of two random variables, X and Y, then the sum (or integral) of f(x, y) over all possible values of y is the marginal probability function of x. The definition can be extended analogously to joint and marginal distribution functions of more than 2 variables.
What is joint probability?
Let X and Y be two random variables.Case (1) - Discrete CaseIf P(X = x) denotes the probability that the random variable X takes the value x, then the joint probability of X and Y is P(X = x and Y = y).Case (2) - Continuous CaseIf P(a < X < b) is the probability of the random variable X taking a value in the real interval (a, b), then the joint probability of X and Y is P(a < X< b and c < Y < d).Basically joint probability is the probability of two events happening (or not).
What gives the probability of each random variable?
The marginal probability distribution function.
How do you find probability from probability generating function?

What is the difference between a probability mass function and a probability density function?
The probability mass function is used to characterize the distribution of discrete random variables, while the probability density function is used to characterize the distribution of absolutely continuous random variables.
