Fixed or uniform compositions are characteristic of chemical compounds.
It is true for the simple compounds you are likely to meet in school chemistry. If the ratio is fixed we call it a stoichiometric compound. Sodium chloride is always NaCl and magnesium chloride is always MgCl2. Lead and oxygen can form PbO, PbO2 and Pb3O4 but each of these is a different substance and each always has a fixed elemental ratio. However there are many more complex compounds which have variable composition. A common example is rust.

Compounds are chemical substances that is formed when two or more different types of elements join together.

No, its the opposite. Compounds have fixed ratios, think of H20, while mixtures can vary. You can make many types of mixtures out of the same things. Because of bonding compounds have fixed ratios.
