Uniform Distribution Probability

Understanding Uniform Distribution Probability

In statistics, uniform distribution probability refers to a type of probability distribution where every outcome is equally likely within a specific range. This range is defined by two parameters, a and b, which represent the minimum and maximum values, respectively. The probability P of a given number x falling within this range can be computed with the formula above, where x is the chosen value within the a to b range.

Parameter usage:

• a= minimum value of range
• b= maximum value of range
• x= value for which probability is being calculated

Output:

• probability= likelihood that x is in the range of a to b

Data validation

Make sure that parameter a is less than b.

Check if x lies within the range defined by a and b.

Practical Application

Uniform distribution is often used in simulations and various kind of random experiments where every outcome is equally likely.
