This is in R programming and please provide the Rstudio screenshots. Thank you

Some researchers propose an alternative measure of tailedness. It is calculated as a standard deviation divided by mean absolute deviations. Please google "calculate mean absolute deviations in R".

Task 1.

- Make a code that calculates kurtosis and new measure proposed above for each column of the data set below. You will get values of kurtosis and corresponding values of new measure. Plot the graph to study a relationship between these two variables. Provide your comments on the findings.

Is a new measure good?

Your data set: mydata <- datasets::volcano

# ---- your code and comments here ---- #

Task 2.

Kurtosis for Normal distribution is equal 3. Excess kurtosis for Normal # distribution is 0. What is the value of a new measure for Normal distribution? # Run numerical tests using function rnorm() and report the value. # ---- your code and comments here ---- #
