Generating more random values within a very short range

I will like to generate 50 random numbers between 1 and 4, I also expect to have floats but this isnt workingm any help will be appreciated.

randomlist = random.sample(range(1, 4), 50)
print(randomlist)

This is what I have been getting

Try this:

import random
randomlist = [random.uniform(1,4) for i in range(50)]
