Hi every one,
I am trying to generate a normally distributed random variable with the
following descriptive statistics,
min=1, max=99, variance=125, mean=38.32, 1st quartile=38, median=40, 3rd
quartile=40, skewness=-0.274.
I know the "rnorm" will allow me to simulate random numbers with mean 38.32
and Sd=11.18(sqrt(125)). But I need to have the above mentioned descriptive
statistics for the data that I generate.
I would be thankful to anyone who can help me with this problem.
Regards
Murthy
