Calculate the average fall time and standard deviation using the data above. Average - 1.5s Stdev- 1.85s  Use the average fall time and one of the kinematic equations to determine the height of the building. Add the standard deviation from step 1 to the average fall time from step 2. This represents a “maximum fall time.” Use this time to calculate the “maximum” height of the building.
