Distribute a numerical range to each cell of a list based on a weighting factor assigned on it

I have a list of 'bins' and an equal length list of weighting factors (probabilities) associated to each bin. Given a numeric range, for example 100,000, I want to distribute it to each bin based on their associated weighting factors.
I don't even know how to start tackling this,
I need to make sure that the input range can fit in the bins:
input_number mod bins_list_length = 0
Distribute the given numeric range to each bin based on the weighting factor assosiated to each bin:
no idea
Any suggestions are more than welcome!
thanks

It would be helpful to know more about the probability distribution you are using, like is it a uniform probability? Also, please post the code you have tried, it's easier to answer pointing to your code than a description of the general problem.
