How to get a data set using Mean and standard deviation

I want to get data set containing 10 points with mean =63 and standard deviation of 2.3. Is there a way to do this in MATLAB

 Accepted Answer

mu=63;
sigma=2.3;
%generate normally distributed numbers
y=randn(1,10);
y=sigma*(y-mean(y))/std(y)+mu
y = 1×10
59.4063 62.3973 64.1918 63.0970 58.7229 64.0962 64.3337 65.7578 62.9910 65.0058
mean(y)
ans = 63
std(y)
ans = 2.3000
