Assign Random Number between two value conditionally - pandas

Question

I have a dataframe:
df = pd.DataFrame({
'Prod': ['abc', 'qrt', 'xyz', 'xam', 'asc', 'yat'],
'Line': ['Revenues','EBT', 'Expenses', 'Revenues', 'EBT', 'Expenses'],
'AGE': ['35-44', '20-34', '35-44', '35-44', '45-70', '35-44']})
I wish to replace the values in the Age column by integers between two values. So, for example, I wish to replace each value with age range '35-44' by a random integer between 35-44.
I tried:
df.loc[df["AGE"]== '35-44', 'AGE'] = random.randint(35, 44)
But it picks the same value for each row. I would like it to randomly pick a different value for each row.
I get:
df = pd.DataFrame({
'Prod': ['abc', 'qrt', 'xyz', 'xam', 'asc', 'yat'],
'Line': ['Revenues','EBT', 'Expenses', 'Revenues', 'EBT', 'Expenses'],
'AGE': ['38', '20-34', '38', '38', '45-70', '38']})
But I would like to get something like the following. I don't much care about how the values are distributed as long as they are in the range that I assign
df = pd.DataFrame({
'Prod': ['abc', 'qrt', 'xyz', 'xam', 'asc', 'yat'],
'Line': ['Revenues','EBT', 'Expenses', 'Revenues', 'EBT', 'Expenses'],
'AGE': ['36', '20-34', '39', '38', '45-70', '45']})

Answer 1

The code
random.randint(35, 44)
Produces a single random value making the statement analogous to:
df.loc[df["AGE"]== '35-44', 'AGE'] = 38 # some constant
We need a collection of values that is the same length as the values to fill. We can use np.random.randint instead:
import numpy as np
m = df["AGE"] == '35-44'
df.loc[m, 'AGE'] = np.random.randint(35, 44, m.sum())
(Series.sum is used to "count" the number of True values in the Series since True is 1 and False is 0)
df:
Prod Line AGE
0 abc Revenues 40
1 qrt EBT 20-34
2 xyz Expenses 41
3 xam Revenues 35
4 asc EBT 45-70
5 yat Expenses 36
*Reproducible with np.random.seed(26)
Naturally, using the filter on both sides of the expression with apply would also work:
import random
m = df["AGE"] == '35-44'
df.loc[m, 'AGE'] = df.loc[m, 'AGE'].apply(lambda _: random.randint(35, 44))
df:
Prod Line AGE
0 abc Revenues 36
1 qrt EBT 20-34
2 xyz Expenses 37
3 xam Revenues 43
4 asc EBT 45-70
5 yat Expenses 44
*Reproducible with random.seed(28)
