Use the following to answer questions
This figure depicts the typical relation found between a person's age (in years) and his or her reaction time in a simple reaction time task (e.g., time to press a button when a light turns green).
Figure: Age and Reaction Time
-(Figure: Age and Reaction Time) If one were to assume with certainty that a person who is 2 years old has a reaction time of 9,000 milliseconds, which error would be made?
A) sneaky sample lie
B) interpolation lie
C) extrapolation lie
D) inaccurate values lie

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extrapolation involves extending a trend or pattern beyond the range of known values, which is the case here as assuming a 2-year-old has a reaction time of 9,000 milliseconds is making a prediction outside the range of the data presented in the figure.
