What is the purpose of the RANDBETWEEN function?

The RANDBETWEEN function is specifically designed to generate a random integer that falls within a specified range defined by two numbers, which are the lower and upper limits. When you use this function, you provide the minimum and maximum values, and the function will return an integer that is randomly selected between these values, inclusive.

This capability is particularly useful in various applications, such as statistical simulations, creating random samples for testing, or any situations where random integers are needed for computational purposes. This makes it a straightforward yet powerful tool for generating random integers without the need to implement complex algorithms or logic.

Other options do not accurately describe the RANDBETWEEN function's purpose. For example, generating a random floating-point number is beyond the scope of what RANDBETWEEN can do, as it specifically produces integers. Similarly, while the function can help in building datasets or performing random sample selection, its direct function is to generate random integers rather than creating datasets or simulating random sample selection directly.
