Probability density of a product of random variables
ID: probability-density-of-a-product-of-random-variables
If has a joint probability density , the product has the displayed probability density function, interpreted almost everywhere. For fixed , substitute in the integral defining ; the absolute Jacobian determinant is . The Tonelli theorem then exchanges the nonnegative integrals. The line has two-dimensional Lebesgue measure zero, so its omission creates no probability mass. A density may be infinite at exceptional points without creating an atom.
