[R] r-help using random generating

[Adaikalavan Ramasamy]

Yes it looks like a really good student exercise into the sampling
properties of a distribution.

What you need to do is initialize vectors beforehand that will contain
the mean and variance values. Then simply use a for() loop that
generates 5 random numbers. Use the mean(), var() and store the values
into the vector. Then a simple plot() should suffice. 

Since it is a simple problem, I will leave you to it.
