Sig Figs when Uncertainty is Larger than Values

N/A

Hey, so in my lab I took some apparently bad data and when I averaged it and took the standard deviation I got values for the SD that were larger than the average of the data. I'm sure they still want sig figs in the results but I'm not sure how to report it.

My average is -0.7101 and my standard deviation is 1.7506..

What is wrong with -0.7 +/- 1.8 or -1 +/- 2?
