Hi,
I would like to know how is possible to generate random draws from a normal distribution , where the rv has a specific range.
say within a closed interval [-5, 5].
Thanks

Well this would no longer be statistically normally distributed as the support is infinite.

Considering that:
p = normpdf([-5, 5], 0, 1)
produces:
p =
1.4867e-006 1.4867e-006
so the randn function will produce normally-distributed random variables on the interval (-5,+5) with a probability of about 0.999997 or so.
