Definition of Uniform Distribution



In statistics, the uniform distribution is a type of probability where the likelihood of all outcomes is equal. The probability is constant is uniform distribution since the chance of each variable as the outcome is equal.

 


There are two types of distribution: Discrete and Uniform:

In Discrete distribution, the possible outcomes are finite. E.g., The possible outcomes of a die are 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 but not 2.3 or 4.7. There, the role of a die could generate a discrete distribution with p=1/6 for each outcome.

In Uniform distribution, the possible outcomes are infinite. E.g., like discrete distribution, a random number generator can create any number with equal outcome possibility but the possibility of the number that exists is infinite.
