How to make this sentence shorter?

Question

It appears that this site does not support LaTeX, so sorry for the ugly formatting. I would like to explain the sentence > Let X ~ N(mu_x, sigma_x^2) and Y ~ N(mu_y, sigma_y^2). with plain english. A long version would be > In other words, X is a normally distributed random variable with mean mu_x and standard deviation sigma_x, and Y is a normally distributed random variable with mean mu_y and standard deviation sigma_y. However, it is kind of repetitive and long. How could I rephrase so that it is shorter, and still easy to understand?

Answer 1

It depends on where you are going next with this.To just state it simply, you could say you have two variables, X and Y, each of which is a normally distributed random variable for which there exists a mean and a standard deviation.
