Independent Random Variables
The random variables X1, X2, …, Xn are
independent means that
for any events E1, E2, …, En which involves only X1,
X2, …, Xn respectively, the probability of the joint
event, P[E], is equal to the product of the
probabilities of the individual events P[E1] P[E2] …
P[En]:
P[X1E1, …, XnEn] = P[X1E1] … P[XnEn]

Example
Assumption: The birthday (month and day) of a
person is randomly distributed. The person’s
anniversary (month and day) is also randomly
distributed
The event that the husband’s birthday is on
Christmas and the event that the wife’s birthday is
on Christmas are independent, so that the
probability that both birthdays are on Christmas is
1/365 1/365
However, the event that the husband’s anniversary
is on Christmas and the event that the wife’s
anniversary is on Christmas are not independent

The discrete random variables X1, X2, …, Xn are
independent iff
the joint probability mass function pX1, X2, …, Xn(x1,
