Consider the attached image of a nova observed with the millimeter telescope CARMA at 96 GHz (Panel A). Histograms of pixel values are shown in Panels B and C (Panel C is just a zoom-in of a region on Panel B); these are just like the histograms you made in DS9's \verb|Scale Parameters|. The pixel values after calibration are expressed as flux density per pixel (units of mJy/pixel). The plotted range ($-2$ to $36\,\mathrm{mJy/pixel}$) includes all pixels in the image.

\item Estimate the standard deviation of the background ($\sigma$), and explain your reasoning.
