\subsection{Analysis}  After letting our data run for about 14 (as seen from Table \ref{table:Final_values})  days, we needed to analyze all of the data points. FIGURE IDK WHAT YET shows a histogram of the real time (the actual time the data was being collected because there was a small amount of time needed to process the data). As you can see, the histogram is similar to an exponential, and that is the fit we chose. Our bin size was 30. In order to fit the data, we had to chose the best data. We needed to remove data that was incorrect ACTUALLY IDK WHY WE DID THIS. After fitting an exponential, we needed to find the Rediuced $\chi$ squared. To do this, we needed to use the following formula, \begin{equation}\label{eq:reducedchi}   \textrm{Reduced } \chi \textrm{ Squared} = \chi / N
