For drawing numbers $x_i$ from a normal distribution we use the
\code{randn()} function. This function returns normally distributed
numbers $\xi_i$ with zero mean and unit standard deviation. For
changing the standard deviation $\sigma$ we need to multiply the
returned data values with the required standard deviation. For
changing the mean we just add the desired mean $\mu$ to the random
numbers:
changing the standard deviation we need to multiply the returned data
values with the required standard deviation $\sigma$. For changing the
mean we just add the desired mean $\mu$ to the random numbers:
\begin{equation}
x_i = \sigma \xi_i + \mu
