Hi Steve The following will give you some ideas (note that I haveI have repaired your CapSigma). mean1 = 5.8; sigma1 = 0.2; mean2 = 5.3; sigma2 = 0.2; rho = 0.6; mu = {mean1, mean2} CapSigma = {{sigma1^2, rho*sigma1*sigma2} , {rho*sigma1*sigma2, sigma1^2}} dist = MultinormalDistribution[mu, CapSigma] pdf = PDF[dist, {x, y}] plot1 = Plot3D[pdf, {x, 4, 7}, {y, 4, 7}, PlotRange -> All] pdfConditional = (PDF[dist, {x, y}] /. {x -> 6.3})/ Integrate[ PDF[dist, {x, y}] /. {x -> 6.3}, {y, 4, 7} ] // Simplify plotConditional = Plot[pdfConditional, {y, 4, 7}, PlotRange -> All] meanConditional = Integrate[ y pdfConditional, {y, 4, 7} ] sdConditional = Sqrt[ Integrate[ (y - meanConditional)^2 pdfConditional, {y, 4, 7} ]] Cheers Barrie >>> On 10/07/2011 at 7:01 pm, in message <201107100901.FAA24634 at smc.vnet.net>, Steve <s123 at epix.net> wrote: > Hello, > > Can someone help me with this ? > > I have 2 normal distributions; dist1 describes x and dist2 describes > y.
