Vector question help?

hello,

A vector with 25 integer values ​​that are randomly drawn in a normal distribution Standard ("randn" and "round" functions must be used).

help from someone?

Thanks.

PLEASE STOP ASKING THE SAME QUESTION. You asked it yesterday. It got an answer. You ACCEPTED the answer. So why ask it again today?

% this step creates a vector with 25 normal distributed random values
MyVector = randn( 1,25 )

MyVector = 1×25

-0.4239 -1.5898 -0.4024 0.3069 -0.7501 1.3158 -1.0187 -1.4043 -1.6596 -0.0980 0.7049 -0.3003 1.6321 0.5295 -0.1080 -1.7873 -0.9262 -1.5933 -0.0804 1.7420 0.6466 0.0237 -1.2713 -1.2126 -1.7791

% if you want to round these values to obtain integers you can do:
MyRoundVector = round( MyVector )

MyRoundVector = 1×25

0 -2 0 0 -1 1 -1 -1 -2 0 1 0 2 1 0 -2 -1 -2 0 2 1 0 -1 -1 -2

However, note that (as John indicated) after the rounding the vector no follows a normal distribution. This vector simply contains the rounded values.

[John D'Errico]

The vector you have shown how to generate does NOT follow a normal distribution. Once rounded, the sample no longer comes from a normal distribution. That there is no answer to the question now asked multiple times by the poster is a better response.

Indeed, thank you for pointing this out :) I updated the answer and added a few comments rather than deleting it.
