===Question 6===

I'm having difficulty trying to set the seed of the Gaussian random number generator at the begginning of my simulation. I take it you need to declare a variable such that:

: >> seed = "some prime number";

...then go into the source block parameter for Random Number and change the inital seed parameter to "seed" and play around with seed values from your code as the assignment suggests (if you want to). But the problem I'm having is matlab won't let me change this parameter.. in fact I can't even change "mean" or "variance" not that I need but how can I gain access to change this?

:'''Answer 6:'''  You can do it like that... or you can read the Matlab help on the function and find a much easier way to seed the generator. Mean and variance are easy to change after the values are generated, think about how you would map a normal distribution onto a standardised normal distribution with mean 0 and s.d. 1 in high school statistics, and reverse the process.
