how to make a random t-distribution sample?

Hi!

I'd like to make a t-distribution.

so I made chi square distribution using random('norm')

the degree of freedom is 5

and I also obtain zvalue using zscore function.

(I made standard normal distribution first and used this distribution for zscore)

and using sqrt.

finally, I tried zvalue(=zscore) divided by sqrt(chi/degree of freedom)

but matlab said the matrix dimensions do not agree.

so what can I do? to make t-distribution?

how can I get a ..z score and how can I divide it by sqrt(chi/degree of freedom)?

thank you so much!

Use the trnd function.
