I see what appears to be a timer which tells the seconds of how long it took me to click the timer button.

** Your average time interval for 20 time intervals **
11.2074
I got this average by adding up all 23 intervals and dividing those by 23. This gave me the average 11.2074.
** 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? **
no th program is not flawed it is set up to give a time interval, however you subtract for example 2 from 1 to get the exact interval.
** What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals? **
I see the seconds in between each interval. for example it is 0.01563 seconds in between 9 and 10.
** Your time intervals for 7 complete breaths: **
2.6875
2.609375
3.96875

3.078125

** Your general comment to this point: **
** Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice? **
Because you were not doing a rapidly time interval as in the first one, it was more time in between.
** Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ... **
d
I think it is d because the results have been closer to that than the other.
