Multiply by the standard deviation, i.e., the square root of the variance you want.

Subject: st: random number with a specific variance
Hi,
How can I generate a variable containing random numbers normally distributed
and a variance different from 1 (like -invnorm(uniform())- but with a
variance different from one)?
Thanks,
Rafa
