The “rnorm” Function in R

• Package: Base R (no specific package required)

• Purpose: Generates random numbers from a normal distribution.

• General Class: Random Number Generation

• Required Argument(s):

• n: The number of random values to generate.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• mean: The mean of the normal distribution. The default is 0.

• sd or sigma: The standard deviation of the normal distribution. The default is 1.

• Example:

• # Generate 100 random values from a normal distribution with a mean of 5 and standard deviation of 2
  random_values <- rnorm(n = 100, mean = 5, sd = 2)
  print(random_values)

• In this example, the rnorm function is used to generate 100 random values from a normal distribution with a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 2. The generated values are then printed to the console.
