exponential distribution

[aadesh]

I want to generate 52 exponential numbers whos mean is 22057 in matlab.. please help ASAP...
thank u


:(

you can generate an exponential RV with mean M by doing the following:



uni = rand(1,52);
ex = -log(uni)/M;

Dint actually get it.... i copied and pasted it but Matlab dint do anything.. there a full possibility that i did it wrong since i am a newbie at using the software. please if you can explain in detail...
wht i did was i copied the code
n just changed m in it...

you can generate an exponential RV with mean M by doing the following:



uni = rand(1,52);
ex = -log(uni)/M;

the variable ex is now an iid exponential random variable with mean 1/M. with 52 draws from it.
