Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extrapolation is the process of extending a series of values beyond the original range of observations. This would be the most appropriate choice when there is no defined ending point and a series of values needs to be calculated. Interpolation is used when we need to estimate values between two known data points, which is not the case here. Assessing or plotting would not be sufficient for the task at hand.
