The code above should not have worked as written on any OS
running version 5.2 of Mathematica. If you look at the syntax
for the NormalDistribution function you will see it needs to be
told the mean and standard deviation. That is the correct code
would be
Statistics`NormalDistribution`
n = 500;
A = RandomArray[NormalDistribution[0,1], {n, n}]
for generating random normal deviates with mean = 0 and standard
deviation = 1
