If our theory is correct, they should 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.)
