A Joint Cumulative Probability Function is a joint probability function that is a cumulative distribution function.
- AKA: Joint CDF.
- Context:
- input: two or more Continuous Random Variable Events (x,y).
- Function Domain: two or more Random Variable(X, Y) defined on the same Continuous Sample Space (S)
- range: the Probability of Events (-Inf,x] and (-Inf,y] Occurring.
- range: an Event Probability.
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: Joint Probability Function.

FX,Y(x,y) = P({s∈S } X(s) <= [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] and Y(s) <= y})
FX,Y(x,y) = P(X≤x, Y≤y).
