If three measurements have different errors, what is the error of the mean of the three measurements?

For my astronomy coursework, I need to work out the sidereal day and the error of this value. Since I repeated the observation 3 times, I have 3 values for the sidereal day each with a different error. How would I work out the error of the mean of these values.
