Module Contents

pystats.rnorm.rnorm(n, mean=0, sd=1)[source]

This function generates a vector (NumPy array) of length n normally distributed random variables with mean equal to the mean and sd equal to the sd.

Parameters:

  • n (int) – The number of random variables to be simulated.

  • mean (float, optional) – The mean value of the normal distribution. Default is 0.

  • sd (float, optional) – The standard deviation of the normal distribution. Default is 1.

Returns:

A NumPy array of length n containing normally distributed random variables with mean equal to mean and sd equal to sd.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

Examples

>>> rnorm(2, mean=5, sd=2)
array([6.3245, 4.5983])
