uniform distribution - = distribution uniforme!
thas is not a translation but an axplanation!
Tony M Dec 25, 2009:
homogène I think 'homogène' is actually qualifying 'répartition' rather than 'population' in the example given; where in your context does 'hétérogène' appear? It would help to see in what way it is being used, by way of contrast.

I'd have to see how "hétérogène" is used - non-uniform is OK, but maybe "varying" is better.
Note from asker:
... nice one... and if it were "héterogène" what's the opposite of uniform; non-iniform ?

neutral Jim Tucker (X) : "homogenEOus" ; "homogenous" is a specific biological term and frequently confused for "homogeneous" // not likely to be "pop. homogène, but rather an indiscriminate population study

Population is homogeneous (homogenous) not the distribution (repartition). Otherwise the French has to say "repartition homogene".
