I am attempting to generate a probability distribution for a simulation I'm running.  I'd like to be able to input the average value and the stdev of the value and then have matlab generate a probability distribution over a defined range.  

does anyone know how this can be done?  This may be a simple question.... any help is appreciated.

if you want the probability density function
help pdf
if you want cumulative density function,
help cdf

requires statistics toolbox i suppose.

best, arun.
