Uniform Distribution
4 likes2,484 views
A random variable X has a continuous uniform distribution if its probability density function f(x) is constant over the interval (α, β). The uniform distribution has a probability density function f(x) = k for α < x < β, where k is a constant, and is equal to 0 otherwise. All values from α to β are equally likely to occur, meaning the probability of X falling in any sub-interval of (α, β) is equal to the width of that sub-interval divided by β - α, regardless of location within the main interval.
