I am sorry I am still trying to understand this formatting. Thank you for being understanding.

The left column increases and the right column barely fluctuates. The faster I clicked to increase the intervals the smaller the numbers on the left seemed to be.

To find the average I added up the left column and divided that number by 20. I divided by 20 due to the 20 intervals I got in my experiment.\

I had a hard time catching on to the steps for the experiment. The box below was not there so I wrote all of my information on a TextEdit page.
The TIMER program reported the time so frequently due to the computer generating a more accurate number. The program is not useless it compensates for human error and draws out the sig figs for more accurate experiment results.
The TIMER program analyzes the numbers in the third column represent the time difference between the two numbers on the line.

I am concerned with my intervals from my breathing experiment.
We would expect to not observe the exact time interval twice due to the speed of the clicks. The program is not able to carry accurate readings when the clicks are fast.
The TIMER program is capable of determining the time between two events accurately to within about .01 second.
The TIMER program repeated some of the timer intervals the faster I clicked. Therefore the accuracy of the TIMEr program is less than c or d but more than a.

Your data look good.
If you review the instructions for the experiment, you will see that you were to copy the instructions for the experiment into a text editor.
Having done so you would insert your information in the appropriate places, without otherwise deleting or tampering with anything in the original file.
You would normally have done the 'First Two Questions' assignment, and a number of others, before this one, which would have gotten you more used to the format.
Once you're done a couple more documents and gotten used to the format, which is followed throughout the course, you won't have any trouble with it. When you're sure you have it, please resubmit this by inserting your information into a copy of the instructions for the experiment.
Your information looks fine, but I do want to see it in its complete context. There are a few questions you'll still need to answer, and this will be obvious at that time.
