** Your General Comment **
** Describe what you see on your first 10 clicks **
I see a list of numbers from one to ten, and then I see a second column with numbers that start with 462.9219 and goes through 466.4375, and a third column the first number being 462.9219 and the end being .40625

** Your average time interval for 20 time intervals **
1.78515625
That 32.9 seconds at the beginning was not a quick-click interval and shouldn't have been counted.
I added all the numbers that start with a decimal becuase i wasn't sure which intervals i needed to average out. After i added all of the first twenty numbers I then divided by 20.
** Your frequency distribution for the 20 time intervals (interval, number of times it was observed) **
32.90625, 1
.15625, 4
.125, 5
.140625, 10
** Your general comment to this point **
** Why did you observe only certain time intervals? **
I don't think that the timer is flawed, I don't really know why it would put the same amount of time so often???
** What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals? **
The last colum as stated gives the time between each time interval. I'm not to sure what it means, i would say that the TIMER program doesn't record those. You would have to find the time between the time intervals yourself.
** Your time intervals for 7 complete breaths: **
7.796875
8.03125
8.609375
9.296875
8.515625
8.75
8.953125
** Your general comment to this point: **
** Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice? **
I would say that the reason the breathing was different from the first fast clicks, was because where there was such a time difference there was more time between each breath as opposed to between every fas click
** Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ... **
I would say it would be D. because of the decimal places.
