>>> uniform(2.5, 10.0)                # Random float:  2.5 <= x <= 10.0
3.1800146073117523

>>> expovariate(1 / 5)                # Interval between arrivals averaging 5 seconds

>>> randrange(10)                     # Integer from 0 to 9 inclusive

>>> randrange(0, 101, 2)              # Even integer from 0 to 100 inclusive
26

>>> choice(['win', 'lose', 'draw'])   # Single random element from a sequence
'draw'

>>> shuffle(deck)                     # Shuffle a list
>>> deck
