Random sampling from one-sided truncated normal distribution

1	rtnorm(mu, sd, MIN)

`mu`	The mean parameter of the truncated normal. NOTE that this is NOT equal to the mean of the distribution
`sd`	The standard deviation parameter of the truncated normal. Again, NOTE tht this is not the SD of the distribution.
`MIN`	The minimum value, which defines the truncation.

Draws a random number and, if it doesn't fall within the specified range, resample using an adjusted Normal CDF. This isn't performed immediately because CDF sampling calls three functions – qnorm, runif, and pnorm–and therefore is much less efficient than a simple random sample.

Numeric length one.
