For standard errors and standard deviation, what does overlapping mean?
well i think it is about drawing error bars
so if u draw a bar chart representing the mean values of 2 sets of data and then draw an error bar extending 2 standard errors above the mean value and 2 standard errors below the mean value then we can be sure that the true mean value lies within the range of these error bars.

Oct 2012 p11 Q 5 option A is wrong why?
As the smallest distance to see 2 points seperate decreases, resolution increases.
for example
say you have 2 points 5nm apart, you need a resolution of 5nm
2nm apart = resolution of 2nm --> more resolution needed
