New Feature of RANDNORM - mark4flies - 12-21-2016 11:11 AM
I discovered that the RANDNORM function behaves like the RANDINT function with three arguments. For example, RANDNORM(1000,50,5) Sto D1 populates the first column in the Statistics 1Var app with a thousand random normal deviates from a population with a mean=5 and a standard deviation=5.
Awesome!
This behavior is undocumented. Please don't change it, just add it to the Help!

help file says :
Syntax:
RANDNORM([μ],[σ]) or
RANDNORM(n,μ,σ)
[...]
With three arguments, returns a list of size n with each element being a random number from the normal distribution with the specified mean μ and standard deviation σ.

That was quick! J
