This video shows you how to do both things.
⭐ NOTE: When I code, I use Kite, a free AI-powered coding assistant that will help you code faster and smarter. The Kite plugin integrates with all the top editors and IDEs to give you smart completions and documentation while you’re typing. I love it!
NOTE: At 4:35, the Uniform Distribution has one extra quantile and at 5:30 I should have said that Quartiles divide the data into 4 parts.
