You measure the blackbody temperature of the night sky three times and read: 7.3C, 9.1C, and 8.7C. Assuming the temperature fluctuation is due to your device, how should you represent this result with its associated error if we assume a 95% confidence interval? Does the standard deviation of a population change dramatically as more data comes in? Standard error? How might we use a low-precision device to make a precise measurement of some natural constant like the speed of light in a vacuum? The mean of a data set is 3.45 and the standard error is 0.003. How should the result be written using a 95% confidence interval?
