Corrected spelling error:

Now, as you may remember (you do remember, right?) I spent some time whining back in [the previous chapter about how the Python developers were really mean because they gave us a built-in function for adding but not for averaging, and I made a big deal about how we had to import statistics.mean. So why, I hear you ask, can we all of sudden calculate means without importing statistics.mean?

"whining" would also work, but Danielle wrote "whinging" in the original LSR, and I like the regional flavor (or should I say "flavour") that the word adds, so I think I'll keep this one as she wrote it :-)
