Five Random Number Generation between numbers 10-20

[sbk143]

I want to generate 5 random numbers (U32) between a range of 120 and 180 with equal distribution. Can i do it? I tried using white noise generation VI, but it gives numbers from [-a,a].

Thanks in advance.

Use an amplitude of 30 and add 150 to your result.

So you have 150 +/- 30.

You will want to use rounding or integer functions to give you an integer rather than a double precision floating point number.

You need to specify whether the random numbers are normal, uniform, exponential, poison, etc. The way you generate the numbers is dependent on the distribution you specified.

Depending on how strict your "equal distribution" requirement is, you may be able to simply use:

This is a histogram of the result for 100K iterations:

Note that the 120 and 180 values occur about half as often as the other values.

To correct that flaw, multiply by 61 and round to -infinity. For example like this:
