.uniq() doesn't guarentee 500 number exactly.
.shuffle() just tosses the collection and doesn't give you unique numbers.
You'd better to implement method:
def secure(number, precision)
collection = []
collection |= [SecureRandom.random_number.round(precision)] while
collection.size < number
collection
end
> secure(500, 3)
=> collection of 500 unique random numbers.
