** Your General Comment **
I believe that you said that we only needed to do the first few boxes, if I misunderstood you just let me know and I will do the rest.
** Describe what you see on your first 10 clicks **
I see ten sets of numbers one being the total time that I have had this program open, and the other the interval. I also see that I can click pretty fast.

** Your average time interval for 20 time intervals **
.15625
I put this number because it occures 13 times of the 23 and there are numbers above and below so I thought it was a good estimate.
** 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? **
** What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals? **
** 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? **
** Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ... **
** Copy of a few lines of your spreadsheet from the TIMER program. **
