Drawing samples from skew distributions

In this exercise, you will generate random samples from a bivariate skew-normal distribution using the rmsn() function from the sn package for specified location, scale, and skewness parameters. You will then modify the code to generate random samples from a bivariate t-distribution.

The mu.sim and sigma.sim objects are preloaded for you.
