 I want to tell my students: 
"The results of your measurement should be reported in the
form: 
x = average of all the x-values ± systematic error ±
statistical error." 
Not that it really matters, but is that the right order or is
it: 
statistical error ± systematic error? Or is there no "right"
order? 
This is pretty embarrassing - obviously I don't DO physics
 
anymore :-(
