Maybe this will help? https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.15.0/reference/generated/numpy.random.normal.html – Dec 25 '19 at 08:01

See https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.15.0/reference/generated/numpy.random.normal.html
in short, you can use
numpy.random.normal([mean], [standard deviation], [array size])
so for your example:
numpy.random.normal(75, 12, [array size])

@Megan, you can't- not with normal distribution. look here for a more thorough explanation: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1683461/generating-a-gaussian-distribution-with-only-positive-numbers – shayelk Jun 29 '22 at 08:10
