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 marginal probability?

Suppose you have two random variables, X and Y and their joint probability distribution function is f(x, y) over some appropriate domain. Then the marginal probability distribution of X, is the integral or sum of f(x, y) calculated over all possible values of Y.

When does marginal benefit occur?

Marginal benefit 'occurs' for any benefit (price) function, since a marginal term is simply the first-order derivative of its parent function. Marginal benefit is strictly greater than zero only when a benefit function is always increasing in total benefit over its domain.

What is the difference between probability distribution and probability density function?

A probability density function assigns a probability value for each point in the domain of the random variable. The probability distribution assigns the same probability to subsets of that domain.


Equation for marginal cost and average cost?
