I have a variable range lets say x = 3:6.
I want to pick 200 random numbers from this range (it could be any decimal number in the range). But I want these numbers to be picked with certain probability.
For example 20% of the numbers from the range 3:4,
50% of the numbers from the range 4:5,
and rest 30% of the numbers from the range 5:6.
How can i do this?
Thanks.

Try this
a = randsample(3:5, 10000, true, [0.2 0.5 0.3]) + rand(1, 10000);
It will generate 10000 random numbers with given distribution. Check their distribution with
histogram(a, [3 4 5 6])

Thank you!!!
This is perfect. It did not click me that I can use rand(1) to add with numbers generated by randsample.
Thank you so much!!
