public static double Sample(
	Random random,
	double mean,
	double standardDeviation
)

Public Shared Function Sample ( 
	random As Random,
	mean As Double,
	standardDeviation As Double
) As Double

public:
static double Sample(
	Random^ random, 
	double mean, 
	double standardDeviation
)

static member Sample : 
        random : Random * 
        mean : float * 
        standardDeviation : float -> float 

Parameters

random

Type: SystemRandom
The Random derived random number generator used to generate the sample.

mean

Type: SystemDouble
Mean of the underlying normal distribution.

standardDeviation

Type: SystemDouble
Standard deviation of the underlying normal distribution.

Return Value

This method is useful when only a single random sample is required, or if the parameters of the distribution change often. To obtain a large number of samples from a distribution with identical parameters, create an instance of the class and call the Sample(Random, Double, Double) method repeatedly.
