Last Updated : 26 May, 2020
random module is used to generate random numbers in Python. Not actually random, rather this is used to generate pseudo-random numbers. That implies that these randomly generated numbers can be determined.

random.paretovariate()

paretovariate() is an inbuilt method of the random module. It is used to return a random floating point number with Pareto distribution.
Syntax : random.paretovariate(alpha) Parameter : alpha : shape parameter Returns : a random Pareto distribution floating number
Example 1: Output :
1.0333528834896462
Example 2: We can generate the number multiple times and plot a graph to observe the Pareto distribution. Output : 👁 Image
Example 3: We can create a histogram to observe the density of the Pareto distribution.
Output : 👁 Image
