I would like to create a function that accepts Double mean, Double deviation and returns a random number with a normal distribution.
Example: if I pass in 5.00 as the mean and 2.00 as the deviation, 68% of the time I will get a number between 3.00 and 7.00
My statistics is a little weak…. Anyone have an idea how I should approach this? My implementation will be C# 2.0 but feel free to answer in your language of choice as long as the math functions are standard.
I think this might actually be what I am looking for. Any help converting this to code?
Thanks in advance for your help.
