Overlay normal distribution onto binomial historam

I have the following code

hist(rbinon(n_repeats,100.0.5))

This gives me a histogram of my simulated data. I would like to be able to overlay a normal distribution on top to show how good the approximation is.

The hist() function will plot the probability density if you set the frequency argument to FALSE. You can then easily overlay a normal distribution.

n_repeats <- 100
set.seed(123)
Vals <- rbinom(n_repeats,100,0.5)
hist(Vals,freq = FALSE)

X_vals <- seq(40,60,1)
lines(X_vals,dnorm(X_vals,mean = mean(Vals),sd=sd(Vals)))
