The Gaussian distribution is considered a normal distribution of random numbers, so why is it being tested as false in the final test? Logically it should return as true shouldn't it ? My code works on all but the final test which seems reversed to me unless you know something I don't ?
Richard, please check the problem description. The task is to identify sets of uniformly distributed random numbers.
The so-called "normal distribution" (another name for which is the "Gaussian distribution") is not uniformly distributed.
This link may help illustrate the difference between those two types of distribution: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/657254/normally-distributed-random-numbers-vs-uniformly-distributed-random-number
