In the analysis, you calculated heart rate averaged over 15 seconds and instantaneous heart rates. explain any differences between these values.

The average heart rate is the number of heart beats counted in 15 seconds divided by 15 seconds. The instantaneous heart rate is the time it takes for a single heart beat. Since the heart can beat at varying rates, these values are not necessarily the same.
