No. the random number generation in data analysis willl generate a table of
random numbers with the given distribution, but it does not change the
Rand() factorr

Hi everyone,

In Excel, by going to Tools/Data Analysis/Random Number Generation,
then clicking ok and going to "Distribution" window, you can select any
distribution available (uniform, normal, ....etc.)

Now, after I make a selection to a distribution, and then using RAND(),
wont that mean that my random numbers do follow the selected
distribution?

Thanks,
Mike
