Bivariate

Consider two numerica random variables Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle X} and $Y$. We can measure their covariance.

$Cov(X,Y)$

The correlation of two random variables measures the line dependent between $X$ and $Y$

Bivariate Normal

The bivariate normal is one special type of continuous random variable.
