`mean`, `stddev`, and `variance` are summary statistics of the random
variable. The 1-norm of a random variable should be `E[|X|]` instead of `\sum_i
|x_i|`. See http://www.math.uah.edu/stat/expect/Spaces.html . I suggest
changing the method names to `norm1` and `norm2` and outputs the average
instead.
