----
The mean of the sample means of any size = the mean of the population.
---
The std of the sample means for samples of size n = s/sqrt(n) where
s is the std of the population.
------------------------------------
mean for all your distributions is 15
---
std for samples of size 4 is 3/sqrt(4) = 3/2
---
std of samples of size 16 is 3/sqrt(16) = 3/4
---
std of samples of size 100 = 3/sqrt(100) = 3/10
-----
Notice: As the samples size gets larger the spread of the
distribution gets smaller, or tighter.
