How well does the normal density fit your bar graph

The Central Limit Theorem says the sums of independent random variables tend to look normal, no matter what crazy distribution the individual variables have. Let us test this by a computer simulation. Choose independently 25 numbers from the interval [0, 1] with the probability density f (x) given below, and compute their sum S25.

Repeat this experiment 1000 times, and make up a bar graph of the results. Now plot on the same graph the density φ(x) = normal (x, µ(S25), σ(S25)). How well does the normal density fit your bar graph in each case?
(a) f (x) = 1.
(b) f (x) = 2x.
(c) f (x) = 3x2.
(d) f (x) = 4|x - 1/2|.
(e) f (x) = 2 - 4|x - 1/2|.
