Easily done with various statistical software (e.g., SPSS, SAS),
if you have access to such programs. Here is a basic Basic
algorithm that does the trick
randomize timer !seed random number generator
ns = 2000 !number of samples = 2000
ops = 100 !number of observations per sample = 100
for s = 1 to ns
for o = 1 to ops
score = int(rnd*100)+1 !generate score from 1 to 100
next o,s
Should be possible to do something similar with excel or
database software.
