Standardizing your data set Use any software of your choice

Standardizing your data set – Use any software of your choice. Make sure to provide all commands and summarized outputs from your simulations. a) Generate a random sample (X) of size 5000 from any non-normal distribution (continuous or discrete).Mention the distribution you have chosen. Call this data set mydata. Then find the mean and standard deviation of your distribution. b) Make a histogram of this non-normal data. c) Next standardize each of your data points by subtracting the mean and diving by the standard deviation Y= (x- mu)/ d) Let us call this standardized data set std_mydata. e) Find the mean and standard deviation for this data set std-mydata. Also make a histogram for the data set. f) Can you make a generalized conclusion based on your observations on the effect of standardizing the data set?
