Sampling

The document discusses various probability distributions and sampling techniques in Python including uniform, categorical, normal distributions and the central limit theorem. Random numbers are generated and histograms are plotted to illustrate the distributions. Cumulative distribution functions are also plotted to demonstrate convergence to the expected distributions as the number of samples increases.
