The first one deals with an error bar exceeding a known upper bound (rather than a lower one), but the discussion largely carries over. | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 3:36 | comment | added | Glen_b | Please show how you got a negative standard deviation. I expect you don't mean exactly that. I doubt you should be summing your results; what is the question you're interested in finding out from the data? A mean can certainly be less than 1; there's nothing that says the mean has to be an observable value -- it frequently isn't. | |
