Any suggestions on propagating uncertainties when calculating the mean?

Hello all, I simply have five quantities, each with an associated uncertainty, and wish to calculate the mean and its associated uncertainty. The quantities are: 102.70±0.02, 102.71±0.02,...

How do I estimate the uncertainty in the location of the midpoint of a curve using the best-fitting Gaussian curve of its derivative?

I have a dataset representing the transition between two materials, A and B (graph (a) in the attached image). I need to estimate the (x-axis) location of the A-B transition and provide an...
