Random Normal Variable Generator

The Random Normal Variable Generator generates a requested number of values, with prescribed mean and standard deviation values, and plots a histogram and density plot for the vector of numbers.

The application contains an input frame on the left where the mean, standard deviation, number of values, and random seed value can be specified.

The first tab (Generator Output) lists the values specified, as well as generates a histogram and density plot for the values that were generated. At the bottom of the tab the numbers that were generated are displayed (rounded to one decimal place). The second tab contains some help on how to use the application.

set.seed(1); hist(rnorm(1000, mean = 0, sd = 1), main = "Random Normal Distribution", xlab = "n = 1000, mean = 0, sd = 1")

library(ggplot2); set.seed(1); qplot(rnorm(1000, mean = 0, sd = 1), geom = "density", xlab = "n = 1000, mean = 0, sd = 1")
