title: Does the randn function in matlab take values from a normally distributed population
body: <p>I had a question regarding the randn function in matlab.  </p>
  
  <p>"randn generates random numbers and matrices whose elements are normally distributed with mean 0 and variance 1."</p>
  
  <p>I got this off a website: <a href="http://www.math.ufl.edu/help/matlab/randn.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.math.ufl.edu/help/matlab/randn.html</a></p>
  
  <p>I just wanted to know if this means that the mean and variance of any randn matix or randn vector generated will be 0 and 1 respectively?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks       </p>
