The numbers of inversions and descents of random permutations are known to be asymptotically normal. On general finite Coxeter groups, the central limit theorem (CLT) is still valid under mild conditions. The extreme values of these two statistics are attracted by the Gumbel distribution. The joint distribution of inversions and descents is a likewise interesting object, but only the CLT on symmetric groups has been established thus far. In this paper, we comprehensively extend the knowledge of the joint distribution of inversions and descents. We prove both the CLT and the extreme value attraction for the joint distribution of inversions and descents by using Hájek projections and a suitable Gaussian approximation. On the signed permutation groups, we additionally show that these results are still valid when the choice of the random signs is biased. Furthermore, we investigate the applicability of these techniques to products of classical Weyl groups.
