Raw Data Output

Gaussian RNG — No Uploads Required

An advanced statistical utility for generating random numbers that follow a normal (Gaussian) distribution. Utilizing the Box-Muller transform algorithm, this tool allows you to specify a custom mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ). It's an essential online calculator for data scientists, statisticians, and developers needing realistic, normally distributed sample sets for simulations, testing, or statistical modeling. Generate single values or bulk datasets instantly in your browser without any server-side processing.

Using Gaussian RNG

It's straightforward — here's how it works.

Step 1

Enter your desired Mean (average value).

Step 2

Enter your desired Standard Deviation (spread of the curve).

Step 3

Specify how many numbers you wish to generate.

Step 4

Click 'Generate' to create the dataset and view the histogram distribution.

Questions People Ask

Honest answers about how this works.

What algorithm does this use?

Great question. This tool uses the Box-Muller transform, a pseudo-random number sampling method for generating pairs of independent, standard, normally distributed random numbers.

Can I really generate a large dataset?

Yes, you can generate up to 10,000 numbers at a time and export them as a CSV file.
