\noindent 2) Estimate the standard deviation of the background ($\sigma$), and explain your reasoning.\\  \noindent 3) Estimate the peak flux density of the nova ($S_{\mathrm{max}}$), and explain your reasoning.}\\ reasoning.\\  \noindent 4) Astronomers usually only take detections seriously if they are 5 or more $\sigma$ significant---that is, if the detected source is at least five times brighter than the   standard deviation of the background. In other words, the source's peak flux should be $S_{\mathrm{max}} > (\bar{S} + 5 \sigma)$. Estimate how many sigma the peak flux density of the nova is, and show your reasoning. Would this detection be taken seriously by other astronomers?
