Book: corrected a few minor typos
Until now, there were a few very minor typos in the book that I noticed
while reading these sections.
With this commit, I have corrected them.

Here, we will review some of the most commonly used methods to quantify the
limits in astronomical data analysis and how MakeCatalog makes it easy to
measure them.
Depending on the higher-level analysis, there are more tests that must be
done, but these are relatively low-level and usually necessary in most cases.

You can test this by changing the @code{200}s in the commands above to smaller
or larger values.
As you make larger and larger images, you will be able to measure the mean
much more precisely (the standard error of the mean will go to zero).
But no matter how many pixels you use, the standard deviation will always be
the same.

its value.
