y=20*randn(1,100000)+80;
histogram(y,11)

xlabel('Value');
ylabel('Count');
txt={'\mu = 80'};
text(80,3.3*10^4, txt);
txt={'\sigma = 20'};
text(100, 3.3*10^4, txt);
I have code that takes a random input and creates a histogram that always has the mean = 80 and standard deviation =20. My question is how do I add text to the plot so that my text '\sigma = 20' is always above the exact mean, which should be 80. I've chosen a large y value just to prevent the text being inside the bar but I'd like it to be on top of the bar no matter the value. The standard deviation text can go anywhere, but preferably close to the mean text.

actual_mu = mean(y);
actual_sigma = std(y);
txtmu = "\mu = " + round(actual_mu,2);
txtsigma = "\sigma = " + round(actual_sigma,2);
text(actual_mu, 3.3*10^4, txtsigma); %yes, sigma is the one placed at mu
text(actual_mu + 20, 3.3*10^4, txtmu);
