"Read through this entire lab before you start. In this lab, we will look at the brightness of stars as measured in astronomical units called ''magnitudes.'' To complete this lab you should have already read textbook Chapter 3 and Sections 2.3 and 2.4. In this lab, you will be asked to type out some equations. In a jupyter notebook you can do this using standard LATEX math notation. If you're new to LATEX you can use [this online equation editor](https://latex.codecogs.com/) to help you along to start. Later in this course you'll be using La"

Ordinarily, your visual impression of the typical value of a bunch of plotted data points will closely approximate the mean value, and your visual estimate of the peak-to-peak scatter (ignoring rare outliers) will be roughly 4 times the standard deviation. How do mean and standard deviation computed with Python compare with the visual estimates you just made?"
