Math and Statistics need not be scary
As often the case, the answer is found in the definition. So here is the definition for a continuous uniform distribution .
In probability theory and statistics, the continuous uniform distribution or rectangular distribution is a family of symmetric probability distributions. The distribution describes an experiment where there is an arbitrary outcome that lies between certain bounds.[1] The bounds are defined by the parameters, a and b, which are the minimum and maximum values.
Example: the output of a random number generator with lower limit of a and upper limit of b
other more common uniform distributions are considered discrete distributions where only specific outcomes can be generated but the probability for any outcome is the same.
Example. Rolling a single 6 sided dice
Tossing a coin once (rather simple example)
rolling a 20 sided dice
