The syntax for these functions are similar to those needed for the randInt( function. For
example, if you wanted to generate 30 numbers from a normal distribution with a mean of 45
and a standard deviation of 8 and store them in L2 you would select number 6 and type in
randNorm(45, 8, 30)L2. The general syntax needed is randNorm(µ, σ, number).
The syntax for the randBin( to generate random numbers from a binomial distribution is
randBin(n, p). This will generate random numbers from a binomial distribution with number of
trials n and probability of success on a given trial p. Both functions take a third input m to
generate a list of random numbers of length m.
