Hi,
l[dist_] := Module[{rnd},
rnd=Random[];
Map[# < rnd &, k[dist]]
]

| Greetings:
|
| I am a fairly new user and I have come across
this problem twice. The last
| time I just worked my way around it, but this
time I can't.
|
| When I exicute the line below, mathematica takes
a new random number for
| each element in the list "k[dist]"
| l[dist_] := Map[# < Random[] &, k[dist]]
|
| I would like mathematica to take one random
number and then use the same
| random number for evaluating every element in
the list. Also, I want the
| random number to be different each time I use
the function.
|
| Any help would be most appreciated.
|
| Thank you.
|
| Kevin
