Answer to Question 1

All measured accelerations would have lower values.

Answer to Question 2

The greatest possible source of error is probably in the measurement of the time
because of problems in determining the moment of starting the timer and the exact
moment the mass hits the floor. Also individual reaction times usually cause rather
large errors.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
