error message "you might need a Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox"

I am using the following function in two computers,

    random('Normal',0,100,nstates,nactions)

This generates a random numbers from 0 to 100 in a Normal Distribution in an nstates x nactions matrix.

Thing is, I do not have a Statistics and Machine Learning toolbox in my other computer so it returns an error message. Can I write my own function for this?

Thanks

That does not generate random numbers from 0 to 100. It generals random numbers with mean 0 and standard deviation 100. The non-toolbox equivalent is

randn(nstates,nactions) * 100 + 0

I stand corrected. Thanks for your help.
