Uniform distribution

Uniform distribution is a probability distribution where all outcomes are equally likely within a specified range, categorized into discrete and continuous types. It has applications in random number generation, traffic modeling, and data science, including data sampling and Monte Carlo simulations. Despite its advantages, such as simplicity and fairness, it has limitations in real-world applicability and does not account for variations.
