Generate 9 (NINE) random numbers with no constraint from 1:9. Then generate a 10th number that is assuredly greater than 2. Randomly permute the set.
R = [ceil(rand(1,9)*9), ceil(rand*7 + 2)];
R = R(randperm(10));
Easy peasy. If you prefer to use randi, it is just as easy, and perhaps easier to read.
R = [randi([1 9],[1 9]), randi([3,9],1)];
R = R(randperm(10));
The general idea is a common one to be found in probability. If you need one number to have some property, then generate it as such.
Edit: to generate real numbers instead of integers...
R = [rand([1 9])*8 + 1, rand(1)*7 + 2];
R = R(randperm(10));
The basic idea remains the same. Note that the rand function generates a value in the strict open interval (0,1), so the result of our 10th number will never be exactly 2. Thus, that value must always be strictly greater than 2.
