I am learning about null hypothesis and statistical inference. A problem was presented to me, I wrote the code but it seems I overlooked something:

Problem at hand: Set the seed at 1, then using a for-loop take a random sample of 5 mice 1,000 times. Save these averages.

What proportion of these 1,000 averages are more than 1 gram away from the average of x ?

My script:

set.seed(1)
weightsample<-vector("numeric", 1000)
for (i in 1:1000) {
  random<-sample(x, 5) 
  weightsample[i]<-mean(random)
  }

popmean<-mean(x)
mean(weightsample>popmean+1)

my erroneous answer:
 0.265
