You can generate random number by using poissonrnd function, like;

lambda = 75;
r = poissrnd(lambda);

Or, if you want to generate 1000-by-1 random number array, you can do it by:

r = poissrnd(lambda,1000,1);

You mean, you want to create pdf plot from r ? Then, you can create it using histogram function with 'Normalization' option, like:

figure
histogram(r,'Normalization','pdf')
xlabel('Observation');
ylabel('Probability');
grid on

Yes, Thank you so much!
