I would like to get a curve of normal distrubtion over the
histogram. Something like the following (which obviously doesn't
work; see attached example).

        maluj <- function() {

        vrhy=read.csv("pennies.csv",head=TRUE)

        hf=table(vrhy$HEADS)
        postscript("heads.eps",onefile=FALSE,width=4.134,height=3.445,pointsize=12)
        plot(hf,main="Frequency distribution of heads",xlab="Throws",
                ylab="Frequency")
        lines(rnorm(length(hf),mean=mean(hf),sd=sd(hf)))
        dev.off(2)

        }

Any help, please?

Thanks

        Matej
