Uniform distribution
You know a hard minimum and maximum but have no reason to favour values inside them.
On this page
Shape previewEvery duration between the minimum and maximum is equally likely.
Relative densityDuration (seconds)
- min
- 2 s
- max
- 8 s
- Use when
- You know a hard minimum and maximum but have no reason to favour values inside them.
- Avoid when
- Values clearly cluster around a typical duration.
- Support
- Every value between the minimum and maximum.
- Parameters
- Minimum and maximum; every point inside the interval is equally likely.
- Common mistake
- Using uniform when values actually cluster around a typical duration.
- Example
- A manual check can take 2–8 minutes with no known peak.
