Subject: sample function
It's not the simulated data, but how hist() handled it. If you use
truehist() in the MASS package, you don't see the problem. Nor would you
see it like this:
> table(temp)/length(temp)
temp
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11
0.0745 0.0745 0.0830 0.0755 0.0760 0.0750 0.0700 0.0765 0.0775 0.0805 0.0830
0.0765
12
0.0775
