10.1: An angle was measured as 56\deg 1500 using an engineers transit, and had a standard deviation of \pm 30. It was measured again using a repeating optical theodolite as 56\deg 1444 with a standard deviation of \pm 10. This angle was measured a third time with a directional theodolite 56\deg 1448 with a standard deviation of \pm 5. Calculate the weighted mean of the angle and its standard deviation (Equation 10.20).
10.2: What is the standard deviation of the weighted mean for Problem 10.1?
