# Discrete Random Variables：<br>Joint PMFs, Conditioning and Independence

## context

## Total Probability Theorem

## Conditioning a Random Variable on Another
- Let $X$ and $Y$ be two random variables associated with the same experiment. The conditional PMF $p_{X|Y}$ if $X$ given $Y$ is defined as
- The conditional PMF can also be used to calculate the marginal PMFs
- $p_X(x) = \sum_yp_{X, Y}(x,y) = \sum_y p_Y(y)p_{X|Y}(x|y)$
- Visualization if the conditional PMF $p_{X|Y}$
-
