Prediction of the value of the dependent variable outside the experimental region is called
A)interpolation.
B)forecasting.
C)averaging.
D)extrapolation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extrapolation involves using statistical methods to estimate or predict the value of a dependent variable, based on its relationship with one or more independent variables, beyond the range of values used in the original analysis. This is different from interpolation, which involves estimating values within the range of values used in the original analysis. Forecasting and averaging are not typically used to describe the process of predicting values outside of the experimental region.
