title: How to calculate mean and standard deviation of exponential values in python?
body: <p>I need to calculate the mean and std.dev of a list of -ve exponential values using python. Using the usual np.mean(list_of_values) doesn't seem to give me the correct answer.</p>
  <p>My list has values like list_of_values = [8.581952e-309, 1.304333e-320, 0.000000e+00, 6.787212e-611, ...] and is approx 10k in length.</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
