The food pellets also have color additives that help give the farm raised salmon the nice pinkish color weâre all accustomed to. Otherwise, theyâd be a dullish grey color*. *Wild salmon, by contrast, obtain their pink hue from their natural environment by feasting on a diet of krill, which eats red algae. 7.
Generate random numbers with a given distribution. The rand function in MATLAB returns uniformly distributed pseudorandom values from the open interval (0, 1), but we often need random numbers of other kind of distributions. A great article written by John S. Denker explains a method of generating random numbers with arbitrary distribution.
Function Description. The Excel Rand function generates a random real number between 0 and 1. The function takes no arguments and therefore, its syntax is: RAND( ) Although the number generated is between 0 and 1, you can use the function to generate a random real number between any two supplied limits a and b, using the formula: =a + (b-a) * RAND( ) Examples of this are provided below.
