Parameters for Random Numbers
 

Hey!

I´m having a little problem generating a few random numbers. The thing is
this: I have a huge list of people and I need to assign a random number
between 0.0 and 1.25 to each one.

The problem is I need the following:

70% of people to have a number between 1 and 1.2
20% of people to have a number greater than 1.2
10% of people to have a number below 1

Do you know how to do this???

Thanks!!

When competing hypotheses are equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces
the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.
