Your average time interval for 20 time intervals
.1695
I added up the numbers by doing the following math:
.140625 + (.15625 * 5)+ (.171875 * 10) + (.1875 * 4) = 3.390625
Then I divided by the number of times given:
3.390625 / 20 = .1695
Your frequency distribution for the 20 time intervals (interval, number of times it was observed)

Your general comment to this point
Why did you observe only certain time intervals?
It must round off numbers that are so small they can't be recorded accuratly. It will still give a good estimate.
What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals?
The numbers are very similar and all end with either a 3 or a 5. It appears that the timer program estimates to the nearest quarter.
Your time intervals for 7 complete breaths:

Your general comment to this point:
Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice?
The former measurement was of a shorter time when the numbers needed to be more precise to see the difference. Over a longer period of time, as in the second calculation, the numbers are less likely to have such a small difference.
Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ...
The TIMER program is capable of determining the time between two events accurately to within about .001 second.
This was a guess. I really have no idea how to figure out this answer.
Copy of a few lines of your spreadsheet from the TIMER program.
It didn't work and the timer box dissappeared so I couldn't try again.
