Math 151 , Spring 2006:  Questions on Circle Experiment Hit reload ...

!!= we've looked at this

On Average:
    What was my average speed? [compare with others?]
              Class average for speed?  Accuracy?
    How fast was my R/L hand?   What was the difference?
    How far from center was my R/L hand?  What was the difference?
    Average distance between circles? [design of experiment]
[What about spreads?]

Which hand:  R/L, Dominant/Nondominant
   Was faster?  (by how much?)
     Easier to use? [can we tell from recorded data?]
     More accurate? (by how much?)
  How did being right or left-handed affect the experiment? [need more than one person's data for this]

Colors:
!!  What color occured most frequently? [design of experiment]
     Did color make a difference?  if so,
     What color did I respond to faster/ relationship between color and speed/accuracy?
     What color was best for you? [how can we measure this?]
     Could colorblindness affect speed/accuracy?
 
Size:
  How did size affect accuracy of hitting the center?
    What size was easier to see? [how can we measure this?]

Distance:   Did the time increase (accuracy decrease) as the distance increased?
 More accurate moving up/down or side-to-side? [can we measure this?]

Did accuracy improve over Time?

Does type of Mouse matter?  (touchpad vs mouse?  mousepad surface?) [how could we measure this?]
   Did your mouse get stuck [dirty mouseball]? 

Distractions during experiment?
