if you mean by vector ... variable ... then this is easy with minitab and
many other packages ... do they have to be correlated in some way or not?
in minitab, say you want to generate 2 columns of 500 values ... each drawn
from a normal distribition where mean=40 and sd=3 ... you would simply do:
mtb> rand 500 c1 c2;
subc> norm 40 3.
bingo ... that's it
