MATLAB: Creating an array with exprnd numbers

Question

Hi guys,

I have one really simple question but struggled a bit, because I am not familiar with Matlab yet.

I want to create a 100×2 array and fill the first column with exprnd numbers and the second column with zeros.

Hope someone can help me out,

best regards,

Alex

Answer 1

Try this:

A = zeros(100, 2);
mu = 5; % or whatever you want for the mean of the distribution
A(:,1) = exprnd(mu, size(A(:,1)));
