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...
