** Your average time interval for 20 time intervals **

.110205

I subtracted my first time from the 20th time and divided by 20.

** 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? **

Yes, perhaps the program is wrong to report so many significant figures when it can't be that accurate.

** What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals? **

It seems that program uses multiples of .015625 to record times

** Your time intervals for 7 complete breaths: **

3.984375

4.140625

4.265625

3.859375

4.171875

4.046875

3.765625

** Your general comment to this point: **

** Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice? **

Not only are there less times to be duplicated, but when they are spaced out, it is much harder to click at the same time intervals.

** Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ... **

B, judging by the differences of the intervals.

Probably 30 minutes, but I did not work continuously.
