[Numpy-discussion] Sampling from the multivariate normal

Hi List, I'm new to Numpy and I'm a little confused about the behavior of numpy.random.multivariate_normal(). I'm not sure I'm passing the variances correctly. My goal is to sample from a bivariate normal, but the kooky behavior shows up when I sample from a univariate distribution. In short,
