Summary:The purpose of this research is to analyze the patterns of error in determining the combined probability functions of continuous random variables. The type of this research is qualitative research. The data, which is obtained in this research, is then analyzed descriptively. Subjects selection are based on purposive sampling technique by taking 9 subjects with consideration/criteria for high, medium and low academic abilities. The method used to collect data in this research is a written test in the form of a description. The triangulation used in this research is time triangulation that collects data from 6th semester students in the academic year of 2015/2016, 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 who took mathematics statistics course. Conclusion indicates that the pattern of errors experienced by the subjects is concept errors, errors related to the concept of pre-requisite material and calculation errors.
