How to use the MonteCarlo library to generate Gaussian curve

Subha Raj
I have Min, Max and Avg time it takes to do a task.
Based on this, I would like to run MonteCarlo
simulations to get the P10, p50 and p90 probability
times.
Can anyone help me or tell me how I can do this using
quantlib?
Ideally, I would like the answer in C# code, but C++
is ok too.
Thanks
Subha

Kris .
Min/Max doesn't buy you much. So apart from the average you need the s.d
if your underlying process is a Gaussian to be able to get the MC estimate.
