Hey there,
First time on this forums, looking forward to some interesting discussions :)
I am currently trying grasp the concepts of error propagation and standard deviation in relation to experimental physics. I have some data set and i want to determine the difference between the measured and theoretical values including errors and how reliable my reading are. My problem is how do i include these errors in the standard deviation?

You might check Kline and McClintock's 1953 paper on uncertainty analysis. It is a standard in the field.

There is also the NIST guidelines which are a little more up to date.
