Do different songs effect your heart rate? By: Annie

Conclusion: Mission Impossible, and Dying Young are the two music I've use, and most of the people have faster heart rate, after
listening to mission impossible, but 2 out of 7 people get the opposite, I think because maybe each person might have different feel-
ings for each song, or how much they have enjoy the song, makes the difference.

The feedback from Li Hao helped me have a bigger sample size. My original sample size was five, and it became seven. I thought
that a bigger sample size would help.

My hypothesis was supported because apparently most of the people's heart rate is faster when they listen to mission impossible.

Follow up Question:

1.What is the difference of heart rate between these two songs?

2.Does Mission Impossible make our heart rate faster just because its rhythm is faster?

3.Does Dying Young make our heart rate faster just because its rhythm is slower?
