What is Joint Probability Density Function or Joint PDF?
Joint PDF is simply the PDF of two or more random variables.The joint probability density function of any two random variables X and Y can be defined as the partial derivative of the joint cumulative distribution function, with respect to dummy variables x and y.

Joint PDF Property |
Since joint PDF is a derivative of joint cumulative distribution function (Joint CDF), which is also a non negative function.
Therefore joint PDF is always positive.

Property 2- The joint PDF is continuous everywhere as the joint CDF is continuous and we know that it is the derivative of joint CDF.
Property 3- The total volume under the surface of joint PDF is equal to Unity.
