I don't have a spreadsheet program on my computer. I'll try to find something and resubmit the spread sheet info you wanted
Describe what you see on your first 10 clicks
The time since the first click, and the time intervals between the clicks.

Your average time interval for 20 time intervals
Avg. .15546875
I multiplied the number of times that a interval appeared by the interval. Added all the products together then divided by 20

Your general comment to this point
Why did you observe only certain time intervals?
I think that maybe the timer counts multiples of 5
What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals?
It doesn't seem to be acurate. It seems to have rounded up to hte nearest .00000

Your general comment to this point:
Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice?
I would expect that the time intervals between the breathes is much greater, so there is less chance of getting the same interval
Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ...
c. The TIMER program is capable of determining the time between two events accurately to within about .001 second
Copy of a few lines of your spreadsheet from the TIMER program.
2 hrs.
Most peole would finish sooner. I'm slow.
This looks very good.

Here is the spreadsheet data that I didn't put in the first submission of this assignment. After playing around with microsoft works I came up with that spread sheet. As soon as I opened the file it was inserted into the spreadsheet. For some reason I didn't have to go through all the steps required for excel. Is this spreadsheet O.K. to use?
