Std Dev

I'm new to Matlab(student) and am trying to generate a matrix that takes results from 3 exams for n students

Student ID
generate ID's for n students with numbers between 1000 and 9999, evenly distrubed.

Exam 1
Mean =68
StdDev=17

Exam 2
Mean=75
Std Dev=15

Exam 3
Mean=82
Std Dev=19

How would I go about generating the data for the 3 exams

Thanks

randn(m,n) will generate a zero-mean, unit variance normal m x n matrix.
rand(m,n) will generate a uniform distribution [0,1] m x n matrix.

Hopefully that's enough to get you on your way... let me know if you need more info.
