Finding Joint Density CDF

I am working on a problem and am a bit stuck.



It is:



P(X=0, Y=0) = $1over6$



P(X=1, Y=0) = $1over12$



P(X=2, Y=0) = $1over12$



P(X=1, Y=1) = $1over6$



P(X=2, Y=1) = $1over3$



P(X=2, Y=2) = $1over6$



Find the CDF



I understand that we need to plot these points on an x y plane and then draw boundary lines to determine the CDF. I have plotted the points and the form a triangle. What I am confused about, is how do we know where to draw the lines for the boundaries?

  • You want to find $P(X leq 0)$, $P(X leq 1)$, etc. and the same for Y. So for example, $P(X leq 0) = frac{1}{6}$

  • Actually you want to find the $P(Xleq x , Yleq y)$ , calculating the Cdf of $X$ and $Y$ will be useful for the estimation of the joint Cdf, iff the random variables are independent.

  • yes, I understand that but I really don't know how to do that

  • For example : $F_{X,Y}(0,0)=P(Xleq 0, Y leq 0)=P(X=0, Y=0)=frac{1}6$, $F_{X,Y}(1,0)=P(Xleq 1, Y leq 0)=P(X=0, Y=0)+P(X=1,Y=0)$ and so on

  • How do we know whether to us x less than or x in between values
