 The random value is set according to the following rules:
 
-1. When an SDK starts a new trace, `sample_rand` is always set to a random number in the range of `[0, 1]`. This explicitly includes traces that aren't sampled, as well as when the `tracesSampleRate` is set to `0.0` or `1.0`.
+1. When an SDK starts a new trace, `sample_rand` is always set to a random number in the range of `[0, 1)` (including 0.0, excluding 1.0). This explicitly includes traces that aren't sampled, as well as when the `tracesSampleRate` is set to `0.0` or `1.0`.
 2. It is _recommended_ to generate the random number deterministically using the trace ID as seed or source of randomness. The exact method by which the random number is created is implementation defined and may vary between SDK implementations. See 4. on why this behaviour is desirable.
 3. On incoming traces, an SDK assumes the `sample_rand` value along with the rest of the DSC, overriding an existing value if needed.
 4. If `sample_rand` is missing on an incoming trace, the SDK creates and from now on propagates a new random number on-the-fly, based on the following rules:
    1. If `sample_rate` and `sampled` are propgated, create `sample_rand` so that it adheres to the invariant. This means, for a decision of `True` generate a random number in half-open range `[0, rate)` and for a decision of `False` generate a random number in range `[rate, 1]`.
-   2. If the sampling decision is missing, generate a random number in range of `[0, 1]`, like for a new trace.

 The SDK should always use the stored random number (`sentry-sample_rand`) for sampling decisions and should no longer rely on `math.random()` or similar functions in tracing code:
