To make the experiments reproducible, we set the random number generator seed to 100; that is, we used rand(‘state’,100) and ... sample means and variances approach the true values 0 and 1. A more enlightening approach to testing a random number generator is to divide the x-axis into subintervals, or bins,oflength...
