Introduction to Random Vectors
A random vector is a collection of random variables, each representing a different quantity. Random vectors are useful in many fields, such as
finance, physics, and engineering, where multiple variables must be considered simultaneously.
A random vector is a mathematical Random vectors can have a mean, Some examples of random vectors

Probability Function of Random Vectors
Like random variables, random vectors also have probability functions that describe the likelihood of different outcomes. The key difference is that random vectors have joint probability functions that
consider the probabilities of multiple variables simultaneously.
The joint probability function describes the likelihood of Contour plots can be used to visualize the joint probability The conditional probability of a random vector describes the

values.
Types of Random Vectors
There are several types of random vectors, each with their own unique properties and applications.
Continuous random vectors are those in which the variables can take
on any value from a continuous range, such as a real number line.
3 Mixed Random Vectors
Mixed random vectors are those in which some of the variables are
discrete and others are continuous.
Calculating Probabilities for Different Types of Random Vectors
Calculating probabilities for different types of random vectors involves different techniques and requires a deep understanding of the properties of each type.
Probability mass functions (PMFs) are used to Probability density functions (PDFs) are used to A combination of PDFs and PMFs can be used to
