  • Card 2 / 3:
    Uniform Distribution

    a continuous random variable (RV) that has equally likely outcomes over the domain, a < x < b ; it is often referred as the rectangular distribution because the graph of the pdf has the form of a rectangle. Notation: X ~ U ( a , b ). The mean is μ = a + b 2 and the standard deviation is σ = ( b − a ) 2 12 . The probability density function is f ( x ) = 1 b − a for a < x < b or a ≤ x ≤ b . The cumulative distribution is P ( X ≤ x ) = x − a b − a .
