Suppose we have a probability distribution $P(x_1, x_2)$ and its transformation $frac{1}{C} P^2(x_1, x_2)$ with some appropriate normalization constant $C$. Does the following hold:



$$
int_{-infty}^infty frac{1}{C} P^2(x_1, x_2) dx_2 = frac{1}{C_2} P^2(x_1)
$$

with some other appropriate normalization constant $C_2$?



So in other words, do I end up in the same probability distribution when I first marginalize and then square, compared to when I first square and the nmarginalize.
