uniformDistribution -- continuous uniform distribution

Description

The continuous uniform distribution.

i1 : X = uniformDistribution(3, 7)

o1 = U(3,7)

o1 : ContinuousProbabilityDistribution
 
i2 : density_X 4

     1
o2 = -
     4

o2 : QQ
 
i3 : probability_X 5

     1
o3 = -
     2

o3 : QQ
 
i4 : quantile_X 0.6

o4 = 5.4

o4 : RR (of precision 53)
 
i5 : random X

o5 = 6.570847367387662

o5 : RR (of precision 53)

With no arguments, the standard uniform distribution on [0, 1] is returned.

i6 : uniformDistribution()

o6 = U(0,1)

o6 : ContinuousProbabilityDistribution

Ways to use uniformDistribution:

  • uniformDistribution()
  • uniformDistribution(Number,Number)

For the programmer

The object uniformDistribution is a method function.
