How to plot graphs in Python
plot where y = x**2 for x over the interval 1 to 5, properly labelled
Create a histogram where the mean = 0, std. dev. = 1, n = 300, and there are sqrt(n) bins
Create a line plot of your choosing with an appropriate legend which displays the formula of the curve depicted.
The formula should be formatted using TeX syntax to create a professional presentation.

`x_vals = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)` is a tuple. You can't raise a tuple to a power, so you get an error.
On the other hand `x = linspace(1, 5, 1)` is an `ndarray`, and by using `x**2` you raise each element of `x` to the power of 2.

`linspace` needs start and stop as first and second argument respectively. Optionally you can provide other arguments. Check the link for more details.
Also you should be using parenthesis since linspace is a function and needs a parenthesis to be called: `x = linspace(1, 5, 50)`
