      Find pivot index of the array so that partition and Kth element selection can be made A uniform random pivot selection between begin and end indices
      Specified by:
        `pivotIndex` in interface `PivotingStrategyInterface`
      Parameters:
        `work` - data array
        `begin` - index of the first element of the slice
        `end` - index after the last element of the slice
      Returns:
        The index corresponding to a random uniformly selected value between first and the last indices of the array slice
      Throws:
        `MathIllegalArgumentException` - when indices exceeds range
