Calculate:
1. The mean and standard deviation for each set
2. The best estimate of the mean at 95% confidence level for each set
3. The range where 95% of the measured values are expected to be for each set
4. The pooled mean and standard deviation
5. The best estimate of the mean with a confidence interval at 95% level using the pooled statistics.
