For example:
round(7*rand(1,5))
Generates 5 numbers between 1 and 7 Is there a way to generate 5 random numbers between 5 and 7? Or an abstraction of that?

More generally:
minInt = 5;
maxInt = 7;
numInts = 10;
r = randi([minInt, maxInt],[1,numInts])
r =
6 7 7 7 6 5 5 5 7 5
First, if you are wanting to generate random integer values, it's better to use the function RANDI. Then it's just a matter of shifting and scaling the random numbers accordingly. The following should give you random integers between 5 and 7 inclusive:
nums = randi(3,[1 5])+4;
EDIT: As Amro's comment and Doug's answer point out, there is a more straightforward solution whereby you can specify the range directly as the first argument to RANDI:
nums = randi([5 7],[1 5]);
