Describe what you see on your first 10 clicks
I see a series of number,but I am not sure what they are suppose to be. There two rows of numbers. I think the first row is a timer with the second row being the time interval between clicks.

Your general comment to this point
Why did you observe only certain time intervals?
I think it reported .15625 nine times was because that was the speed in between clicks that I could do. I think the program count in intervals of .......5 at end of a significant digit. I dont think the program is flawed.
I recorded .15625 nine times because that is the speed in between clicks that I could do.
What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals?
The la'st digit do not end in just 5, but 3. This makes me belive that the last number could be any number

Your general comment to this point:
Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice?
Becuase the breaths we took are much slower than the rate at which we clicked the button. The faster the interval,the more of a precise pace the timer can capture what we do.
Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ...
c.
because the time given on the left side only goes out to .001.
