Create a vector z with 1000 elements generated by the rand-function. The generated values must have a mean value of 0.5 (mean(0.5)). And a standard deviation of sqrt(1/100*12), (std(x)).

So my task is to determine mean of an random vector to be set to 0.5. And the set standard deviation to be sqrt(1/100*12)

And what have you done so far. I assume you have searched the Matlab help for functions such as 'rand' and followed the links from there to the other random number generation functions.

What makes you think after almost 5 years that this question is unclear? Please provide an explanation in a comment.
I have removed your flag and will copy the question below.

Hi all
Here the code:
mu = 0.5;
sigma = 0.3464;
z = mu + randn(1,1000)*sigma
STDcalculated = std( z )
MuCalculated = mean( z )

Thank you! When I run loop on this script in Matlab STDcalculated and MuCalculated, the results are always close to 0.5 and 0.3463, but not the excact value. But is this as close as possible we get to 0.5 and 0.3464?

0.5*(a+b) = 0.5
1/12*(b-a)^2 = 0.12
Solve for a and b.
This will give you the interval [a b] for which you must generate uniformly distributed random numbers.
Then you can use the rand-function as
z=a+(b-a)*rand(1000,1)
Best wishes
Torsten.
