R Simulation: For n = 10, simulate a random sample of size n from N(µ,σ2), where µ = 1 and σ2 = 2; compute the sample mean. Repeat the above simulation 500 times, plot the histogram of the 500 sample means (does it mean that I can just use hist() method instead of plot() method). Now repeat the 500 simulations for n = 1,000. Compare these two sets of results with different sample sizes, and discuss it in the context...
