 Prisoner escaped when pendulum was torching chest
 Pendulum rope was 30 feet long
Concepts learned
 Standard deviation
 Human error
 Normal distribution
 Graphing
 Mean
 Variances
 The sickness of Poe’s brain
The answer
 Determined what varibles effect perioud of pengulam
 The length effects perioud
 Collect data
 Formulate formula
 Formula x=(L sqr root)*14
 Plug in 30 feet for l
The prisoner could have escaped
The prisoner would have had 78 seconds to escape which would have been plenty of time.
