BMI of villains

Let's return to the heroes dataset containing the information on different comic book heroes. We added a bmi column to the dataset calculated as Weight divided by (Height/100)**2. This index helps define whether an individual has weight problems.

Your task is to find out what is the mean value and standard deviation of the BMI index depending on the character's 'Alignment' and the 'Publisher' whom this character belongs to. However, you'll need to consider only those groups that have more than 10 valid observations of the BMI index.

Tip: use .count() to calculate the number of valid observations.
