It can be proved that the conditional distribution of X [1] given X [2] is a multivariate normal
distribution with the following updated mean vector and covariance matrix:

The conditional mean value for X 1 is −0.69 and the conditional variance is 0.45. The con-
ditional mean and variance of s u can be calculated using the relationship s u = 200 + 40X 1 : the
conditional mean value for s u = 200 + 40 × (- 0.69) = 172.49 kPa, and the conditional variance
for s u = 40 2 × 0.45 = 723.81 kPa 2 . The conditional COV is therefore 723.81 0.5 /172.49 = 0.16.
This conditional distribution for s u is plotted on the right plot in Figure 1.17, showing a good
agreement with the histogram of the conditional s u samples. The conditional mean, vari-
ance, and COV for
σ p can also be calculated in a similar way.
The conditional bivariate distribution for (, )
s u
σ p
can also be obtained. Recall that (, )

This conditional bivariate distribution can be evaluated using Equation 1.36 . Its contours
are plotted in Figure 1.18 . The left plot shows the contours for the unconditional PDF for
