** #$&*Your average time interval for 20 time intervals **
.14. I did each interval and then averaged them.
** #$&*Your frequency distribution for the 20 time intervals (interval, number of times it was observed) **
.156, 2
.14, 8
.141, 4
.125, 6
** #$&*Your general comment to this point **
** #$&*Why did you observe only certain time intervals? **
Not necessarily. The timer program could just be making up for human error. Also, those measurements are so similar that it would still have a small percent error.
** #$&*What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals? **
It tends to follow a pattern.
** #$&*Your time intervals for 7 complete breaths: **
13.02345
14.56643
16.75
19.89711
22.3561
** #$&*Your general comment to this point: **
** #$&*Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice? **
That is because the clicks weren't as close together and so constant. Every breath is different.
** #$&*Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ... **
The first statement because the last 3 digits are just the timers estimation and predictions based on previous trials.
** #$&*Copy of a few lines of your spreadsheet from the TIMER program. **
The timer.exe wouldn't load on my computer so I just had to use the Java timer. I don't believe it has that function.
** **
Approximately 45mins.
