I want to generate a random number within a range while considering a mean value.
I have a solution for generating the range:
turtles-own [age]
to setup
crt 2 [
get-age
]
end
to get-age
let min-age 65
let max-age 105
set age ( min-age + random ( max-age - min-age ) )
end
However, if I use this approach every number can be created with the same probability, which doesn't make much sense in this case as way more people are 65 than 105 years old. Therefore, I want to include a mean value. I found random-normal
but as I don't have a standard deviation and my values are not normally distributed, I can't use this approach.
