This is a simple program to demonstrate the Central Limit Theorum.
When you run it it will ask you for the sample size, the bigger this is the
better the fit to a Normal distribution. If the size is too big then the program will just be slow. The suggested size of 16 is good.
For each individual test a random number is generated between 0 and 639. These are averaged over the sample. The graph (in blue) is of the
means of the samples. It should approximate a Normal.
As the graph reaches the top of the screen it is redrawn at a smaller scale. If Space is pressed the programme will superimpose a Normal (in
yellow) on the graph so you can check the fit. The programme then quits.
If Return is pressed the same happens but it first saves the data to a file (!Data) inside the application. To reload this data run the
application with Return held down.
