sum(rnorm(n, 10, 4)) - sum(rnorm(n, 9, 3)) this appears to be a distribution of the difference between the two sums each of n samples taken from the two distributions. did you perhaps mean the measured variances rather than the sums, to demonstrate the error in my approach? I'm not sure I see the relevance of the difference of sums of many samples.
