I am trying to do a simulation of projected sales. I can't get my head around how to create a random number that follows a certain probability distribution, specifically the standard normal distribution.
Given a mean of sample_mean and a standard deviation of sample_sd, how can I get a random number off of them? Anyone?
Here is a website that does this, but I can't convert the .class files into meaningful code...
