Line graph depicting the table above, showing the frequency of drops by the height of the drop for a large nut.

There numerous variables used for this graph. One such is the height at which the nut should be dropped affected the frequency, and this variable is put into an average. Another variable is the frequency of drops is also an average, where is it impossible to have 6.8 times of drops to open a nut. This has been converted into an average because it provides much clearer data, which could be put into one graph and distinguish the equation for it.
