3 Figure 3 shows two students investigating reaction times. Student B supports his left hand on a
desk. Student A holds a ruler so that the bottom end of the ruler is between the finger and thumb of
student B. When student A releases the ruler, student B catches the ruler as quickly as he can with
his left hand. The investigation is repeated with the right hand of student B.
4

The students took five results for the left hand and five results for the right hand. Figure 3 shows their
results.
