So the only thing to which we can apply the instructions "multiply by
the standard deviation and add the mean" is the output of the random
number generator.

Why didn't you say that right from the beginning? ;)

Why don't you consider being polite to people who have bothered to try
to help you? Don't hope for anymore help from me.
