Use scatter plots to represent two quantitative variables and fit functions to model relationships.

Decide whether a prediction from a scatter plot model is interpolation or extrapolation

Problem

If the observed input values run from \(1~\text{to}~10\), is a prediction at input \(5\) interpolation or extrapolation?

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Interpolation and extrapolation depend only on where the prediction input sits relative to the observed input domain. Mark the smallest and largest observed inputs, locate the new input on that interval, and classify it as inside the data range or beyond an endpoint.
