Excel's random number generator (Part 1)

How do I generate lots of random numbers from a Normal Distribution N(0,1) Ie. Mean 0 Variance 1? Thanks.

Use the formula =NORMINV(RAND(),B2,C2), where the RAND() function creates your probability, B2 provides your mean and C2 references your standard deviation.

To use the RAND function version, copy the cell into as many cells as you want to generate a normally distributed set of random numbers. For the ...

I want to use the RAND() function in Excel to generate a random number between 0 and 1. However, I would like 80% of the values to fall between 0 and 0.2.

Another interesting way to do this is using the Box-Muller Method. This lets you generate a normal distribution with mean of 0 and standard ...

8 天前 · Excel also provides a way to generate random numbers following a specific distribution ... Generate normal distribution using NORM.INV() function.

In Excel use the NORM.INV function. The arguments are =NORM.INV(RAND(), mean, standard deviation)

So, for example, I want to generate a set of random values in the shape of a normal distribution from 1-100.

To generate a normal distribution in Excel, you can use the following formula: =NORMINV(RAND(), MEAN, STANDARD_DEVIATION).

使用函數=Norm.Inv(Rand(),0,1) 來產生「常態分配」亂數。
