Uniform vs Gaussian
Pick the distribution that matches your use case:
- Uniform integer / decimal — every value in [min, max] is equally likely. Default for raffles, simulations, test data.
- Gaussian (normal) — values cluster near the mean μ with spread σ. Use for "natural" measurements (heights, errors, sensor noise).
- Unique set — uniform integers but with no repeats. Use for lottery quick-picks and sampling without replacement.
