How do I generate a random signal that follows normal distribution of mean value 0 and standard deviation 10 ?

Thanks to anyone for helping.

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

N = 1e7;
target_std = 10;
target_mean = 0;

data = randn(1,N) * target_std + target_mean;

%crosscheck
mean(data)

ans = -0.0013

std(data)

ans = 10.0025

You should not expect the experimental mean to exactly equal the target, or the experimental std to exactly equal the target.

Thank you very much

% desired mean and standard deviation:
my_mean = 0;
my_std = 10;

% number of points:
n = 1000;

% generate the signal, using randn:
y = my_std*randn(1,n) + my_mean;

% plot:
plot(y)
