The continuous uniform distribution with parameters = and =, i.e. (,), is called the standard uniform distribution. One interesting property of the standard uniform distribution is that if u 1 {\displaystyle u_{1}} has a standard uniform distribution, then so does 1 − u 1 . {\displaystyle 1-u_{1}.}
The problem of estimating the maximum of a discrete uniform distribution on the integer interval [,] from a sample of k observations is commonly known as the German tank problem, following the practical application of this maximum estimation problem, during World War II, by Allied forces seeking to estimate German tank production.

The uniform distribution or rectangular distribution on [a,b], where all points in a finite interval are equally likely, is a special case of the four-parameter Beta distribution. The Irwin–Hall distribution is the distribution of the sum of n independent random variables, each of which having the uniform distribution on [0,1].
A beta-binomial distribution with parameter n and shape parameters α = β = 1 is a discrete uniform distribution over the integers 0 to n. A Student's t-distribution with one degree of freedom ( v = 1) is a Cauchy distribution with location parameter x = 0 and scale parameter γ = 1.
In probability and statistics, the Irwin–Hall distribution, named after Joseph Oscar Irwin and Philip Hall, is a probability distribution for a random variable defined as the sum of a number of independent random variables, each having a uniform distribution. [1] For this reason it is also known as the uniform sum distribution.
In this section we show that the order statistics of the uniform distribution on the unit interval have marginal distributions belonging to the beta distribution family. We also give a simple method to derive the joint distribution of any number of order statistics, and finally translate these results to arbitrary continuous distributions using ...
A 10,000 point Monte Carlo simulation of the distribution of the sample mean of a circular uniform distribution for N = 3 Probability densities (¯) for small values of . Densities for N > 3 {\displaystyle N>3} are normalised to the maximum density, those for N = 1 {\displaystyle N=1} and 2 {\displaystyle 2} are scaled to aid visibility.
