$p=RandNormal(mean, sd, number)

 

Generates number normally distributed scores with a mean of mean and a sample deviation of sd.

 

For example

 

$p=RandNormal(60,15,30) might return

 

71.14, 64.14, 53.42, 60.18, 85.18, 33.88, 77.8, 64.43, 54.79, 40.79, 42.7, 72.37, 69.64, 27.99, 61.92, 49.87, 64.42, 61.74, 71.67, 83.69, 70.52, 54.36, 63, 24.77, 57.12, 77.01, 57.06, 72.68, 66.49, 45.23

 

A RandNormal parameter is regeneratable. Every time you regenerate, you will be provided with a fresh set of data.

 

A RandNormal parameter can be used for statistical calculations in the inline calculator. For example {mean($p)} of the above data will return 60.
