A volume charge distribution in free space is characterized by the density rho v = q 2Ad exp (− |z| / d ) where d is a distance along z, A is the area of a surface parallel to the xy plane, and q is a fixed charge quantity. The charge distribution exists everywhere. (a) Find the electric field intensity, E, everywhere. (b) What is the interpretation of q?

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
