Uniform(a, b)UNIFORM(Min, Max) or UNIF(Min, Max)
The minimum (a) and maximum (b) values for the distribution specified as real numbers
with a < b.
[a, b]
(a + b)/2
(b – a) 2 /12
The uniform distribution is used when all values over a finite range are considered to be
equally likely. It is sometimes used when no information other than the range is available.
The uniform distribution has a larger variance than other distributions that are used when
information is lacking (e.g., the triangular distribution).
