Updated variables and outputs in Chapter 4 #417

Closed matthew-mcateer closed 5 years ago

@CamDavidsonPilon I made a few changes to chapter 4:

1) Removed the %%time indicators at the tops of cells that was used for making sure cells ran in decent amounts of time. That debugging phase is over. it is no longer necessary.

2) Changed the outputs to be in retina resolution. I imagine most people would be viewing these notebooks on retina screens. Might as well make sure the cell outputs are high-resolution as well.

3) added wget for automatically retrieving the necessary data files from this exact github repo

4) Changed a few variable names in the population simulation section. Specifically, proper variable names were put in place where there were previously hard-coded numbers. These particular cells should be much more responsive to when someone changes the population sizes or median heights.

👍 lgtm, thanks!
