Influence Math.random()

Question

I'm looking for a way to influence Math.random().

I have this function to generate a number from min to max:

var rand = function(min, max) {
    return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}

Is there a way to make it more likely to get a low and high number than a number in the middle?

For example; rand(0, 10) would return more of 0,1,9,10 than the rest.

Yes. You want to change the distribution of the numbers generated.
