In this example, we define a uniform distribution with a lower bound of 0 and an upper bound of 10 (resulting in a range of 10 - 0 = 10). We then calculate the CDF at `x = 5`, which gives us the cumulative probability that a random variable following this uniform distribution is less than or equal to 5. The result will be printed to the console.

#`uniform.rvs()`
Here's a more specific explanation:
- **`uniform.rvs()` Function**: This function is part of the SciPy library and is used to generate random variates (samples) from a uniform distribution.
- **Uniform Distribution**: A uniform distribution is a probability distribution where all values within a specified interval have equal probability. In other words, if you were to plot the probability density function (PDF) of a uniform distribution, it would look like a flat line within the specified interval, indicating that all values in that interval are equally likely to occur.
- **Random Variates**: "Random variates" are simply random values or samples drawn from a probability distribution. When you use `uniform.rvs()`, you are generating random values that follow the pattern of a uniform distribution.
- **Uniformity**: The term "uniform" in this context emphasizes that the distribution of random values is even or consistent across the specified interval, with no particular values being favored over others.
Here's an example using `uniform.rvs()` to generate random variates from a uniform distribution:
```python
from scipy.stats import uniform
# Define the parameters of the uniform distribution
lower_bound = 0 # Lower bound of the interval
upper_bound = 10 # Upper bound of the interval
# Generate a random sample of size 5 from the uniform distribution
random_sample = uniform.rvs(loc=lower_bound, scale=upper_bound - lower_bound, size=5)
# Print the generated random sample
print(random_sample)
```
In this example, `uniform.rvs()` is used to generate random variates within the interval [0, 10] (inclusive of 0 and 10), and each value within that interval has an equal chance of being selected, reflecting the uniform distribution.
