An astronomer makes three one-second measurements of a star’s brightness, counting
4 photons in the first, 81 in the second, and 9 in the third. what is the best
estimate of the average photon arrival rate and its uncertainty?
compute this (a) by using equation (2.18), then (b) by noting that a total of
94 photons have arrived in 3 seconds.
explain why these two methods give such different results. which method is the
correct one? is there anything peculiar about the data that would lead you to
question the validity of either method?
y_c = σ²∑(y_i/ σ²_i) 2.18
uncertainty
σ² = 1/∑ (1/ σ²_i

(2) (a) you have a simple circuit that consists of only a battery (δvbat=1.5v) and two resistors with resistance r1=10ω and r2=5ω, connected in series with each other. what is the current running through the battery? (b) you re-arrange your circuit so now r2 is attached in parallel to r1 rather than in series. what is the current running through the battery? (c) you add an additional resistor r3=7ω on the same branch as r2. what is the current running through the battery? (d) what is the power dissipated in r3?
