Generate a random number with max, min and mean (average) in Matlab

Question

I need to generate random numbers with following properties.

• Min must be 1
• Max must be 9
• Average (mean) is 6.00 (or something else)

Answer 1

If the distribution is not important and all you're interested in is the mean, then there's a particularly simple function that does that:

function x=myrand
 x=6;
end
