ALSO HOW YOUR PREDICTION AND THE ACTUAL COUNT AT 30 SEC COMOARED. WHERE YOU IN THE +-20% RANGE? HOW ABOUT +-10% RABGE?

Answer 1

Seconds	#strikes	Strikes per sec
1	6	6.00
2	10	5.00
3	17	5.67
4	27	6.75
5	35	7.00
6	35	5.83
7	36	5.14
8	42	5.25
30	168	5.60

Average number of strikes per second = 5.80 approx.

Strikes per sec, S=5.8t on average.

If t=30, S=174 which is about 3.5% above actual. This puts it into ±10% range.

If t=22, S=127.6. If we add the totals for 4-7 seconds we get 133 seconds. Therefore we have an actual estimate of 133 strikes in 22 seconds=6.06 strikes per sec, which is 19.3% above average, putting it into the ±20% range.
