Hi every one,
I am trying to generate a 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 tried with rgamma and as I cannot use rnorm, can any one please suggest me
what distribution would give me the negative skewness. I need to have the
above mentioned descriptive statistics for the data generated.
I would be thankful to anyone who can help me with this problem.
Regards
Murthy
