Hi list, are there any functions or ideas to compute random numbers with a specific population mean and standard deviation from symmetric (but not normal) and asymmetric distributions? My first idea was to use e.g. rf() (and other R-functions for random number generation) and then scale the random numbers (for example: mean 300 and standard deviation 40), but I don't know if I'm wrong...
