1. Generating uniformly distributed random numbers between 0 and 1: U(0,1)
a) Using matlab functions
The rand function returns uniformly distributed random numbers between 0 and 1.
r = rand(n) returns an n-by-n matrix containing pseudorandom values drawn from the standard uniform distribution on the open interval (0,1). r = rand(m,n) or r = rand([m,n]) returns an m-by-n matrix.
Example: rand(1, 5)
ans = 0.8147 0.9058 0.127 0.9134 0.6324
