Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online random distribution generator.
You can draw normal, uniform and exponential samples, and set the sample count, mean,
standard deviation, range and scale.
Normal samples use the Box-Muller transform, which turns two uniform random numbers into a
normal value scaled by your mean and deviation.
The samples come from your browser's built-in random number generator, which is fine for
simulation, teaching and quick tests.
Yes. Press the copy button and paste the values straight into a spreadsheet or any statistics
program.
They summarise the sample you just generated, so you can compare the drawn values with the
distribution you asked for.
You can request between 1 and 1000 samples in one go, which is plenty for a quick
demonstration or a histogram.
No. All samples are created locally in your browser, so no data is sent to a server and
nothing is stored.
For the exponential distribution the first parameter is the mean waiting time, so a mean of 2
gives samples averaging about 2.
