While an astronomy professor, you discover a binary star system in which the two stars are in circular orbits about the system's center of mass. from their color and brightness, you determine that each star has the same mass as our sun. the orbital period of the pair is 21.3days , based on the oscillation of brightness observed as one star occludes (hides) the other. from this information you are able to ascertain the distance between the stars.
part a

The force acting on a beam was measured under the same operating conditions and a sample of 5 data points was collected. this process was repeated by 3 observers. the pooled standard deviations of these 3 data sets was 1.21. determine the true mean force using all pooled data (with a 95% probability). the result should look like this: true mean = mean +/- margin of error
