<p>It is possible to sample from a distribution through both the

|
|
|
|
<code>Distribution</code> and [<code>Rng</code>] traits, via <code>distr.sample(&mut rng)</code> and
|
|
|

<code>rng.sample(distr)</code>. They also both offer the <a href="Distribution::method.sample_iter"><code>sample_iter</code></a> method, which

produces an iterator that samples from the distribution.</p>
