Question on io monitoring tools such as gstat and iostat

I am relatively new to using IO monitoring tools and wanted to confirm I
understand them correctly. If I specify an interval of 5 seconds, my
assumption is that the data displayed is an average over that 5 second
interval. Is that correct or am I misunderstanding how intervals work?

Thanks!

Andy
