The rest of your post is ambiguous to me. But note that (all?/most

Dear group,
I am trying to generate a vector of random numbers for 20K observation.
however, I want to generate numbers (with 6 decimal places) within the range of
Std. Dev : 2-3
mean : 4-6
Is there a method to generate numbers with 6 decimal places under
these parameters
thank you.
