What is the format for parameters for the Random Normal Mixture?

Suppose I want mean1 = 20, Mean2 = 40,  SD1 = 10, SD2 = 10, Probability1 = 0.8, Probability2 = 0.2.  How do I put these numbers in vectors for the "meanvec", "sdvec" and "probvec"?

Re: What is the format for parameters for the Random Normal Mixture?

Random Normal Mixture([20, 40], [10, 10], [.8, .2])

Or if you want to use variables for the vectors

M= matrix(evallist({mean1 = 20, Mean2 = 40,  SD1 = 10, SD2 = 10, Probability1 = 0.8, Probability2 = 0.2}));


//Example

dt = New Table("Test",

    add rows(500),

    New Column("RNM", Formula(Random Normal Mixture(M[1 :: 2], M[3 :: 4], M[5 :: 6])))

);

dt << Distribution(Continuous Distribution(Column(:RNM)));

Thanks.  That works!
