So, in this simulation, we simulated 1000 means of 10 standard normals. Our
theory says the standard deviation of averages of 10 standard normals must
be {$$}1/\sqrt{n}{/$$}. Taking the standard deviation of the 10000 means yields
be {$$}1/\sqrt{n}{/$$}. Taking the standard deviation of the 1000 means yields
nearly exactly that. (Note that it's only close, 0.3156 versus 0.31632.
To get it to be exact, we'd have to simulate
infinitely many means.)
