Multivariate Normal PDF

1. The document describes properties of multivariate normal distributions including means, variances, covariance matrices, and conditional distributions. 2. It provides examples calculating probabilities for various events involving a multivariate normal random vector X with specified mean and covariance matrix. 3. The examples include finding probabilities that a linear combination of components of X is above or below certain values, and calculating a conditional distribution.
