 You are the quality control manager at a rod manufacturing factory. You need to simulate measurements and defect counts using three different probability distributions to model your production process:
- Normal distribution for rod weights (continuous);
- Binomial distribution for the number of defective rods in batches (discrete);
- Uniform distribution for rod length tolerances (continuous).

Your task is to **translate the formulas and concepts from your lecture into Python code**. You **must NOT** use built-in numpy random sampling functions (e.g., `np.random.normal`) or any other library's direct sampling methods for the distributions. Instead, implement sample generation manually using the underlying principles and basic Python (e.g., `random.random()`, `random.gauss()`).


Note

### Formulas to Use

### Normal distribution PDF:

$$
f(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{(x - \mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}
$$
 
### Standard deviation from variance:

$$
\sigma = \sqrt{\text{variance}}
$$

### Binomial distribution PMF:

$$
P(X = k) = \begin{pmatrix}n\\k\end{pmatrix}n^k(1-n)^{n-k},\quad \text{where}\begin{pmatrix}n\\k\end{pmatrix} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}
$$
 
### Uniform distribution PDF:

$$
f(x) = \frac{1}{b-a}\quad \text{for}\quad a \le x \le b
$$
