Hi Maarten,
Thank you for your hint. The following worked for me, although not at all elegant.
clear
set obs 100
gen x = rnormal(60,2)
gen y = rnormal(40,5)
sample 5
* I basically noted down the 5 random numbers from each distribution from these steps. Then I plotted the graph using the following:
graph twoway (function normden(x,63,3), range(25 80)) ///
(function normden(x,42,5), range(25 80)) || ///
scatteri 0 36.84148 0 44.27059 0 45.92701 0 46.50338 0 44.33455 ///
0 59.50851 0 61.99597 0 68.14662 0 66.76981 0 65.88701
Thanks,
Debs

*--------------------------- begin example ---------------------------
clear
set obs 100
gen x = rnormal(60,2)
gen y = rnormal(40,5)
cumul x, gen(cx)
cumul y, gen(cy)
twoway function y = normal((x - 60)/2), range(20 90) || ///
function y = normal((x - 40)/5), range(20 90) || ///
scatter cx x || scatter cy y
*-------------------------- end example --------------------------------
(For more on examples I sent to the Statalist see:

Hope this helps,
Maarten
