** Your average time interval for 20 time intervals **
.18047
Subtracted start time from finish time and divided by 20 clicks. Appears click 6 and 18 threw my average off.
** Your frequency distribution for the 20 time intervals (interval, number of times it was observed) **
.125,1
.140625,1
.15625,6
.171875,3
.1875,7
.265652,1
.46875,1
** Your general comment to this point **
interesting
** Why did you observe only certain time intervals? **
no, but is limited by how my mouse sends click (blue tooth) and how my computer might recieve them.
** What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals? **
it is based on multiples of set increments
** Your time intervals for 7 complete breaths: **
6.109375
6.265625
6.546875
6.859375
6.953125
7.109375
7.90625
8.109375
9
** Your general comment to this point: **
last one was 9 even. how can that be? unless the lowest set increment it can measure by is divisable into 9. Also, my 2 year old son is screaming in the background so my average relaxed breath right now is much shorter than yours.
** Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice? **
we are spread out over a much longer period. Thistime has its limitationsb but it is still fairly precise. The odds of hus htting to the fourth decimal point on a nine second interval is minute.
** Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ... **
c. The forth point is where it showeed its limitation--by coming up the same all the time.
