help in iterpolation plz!!

[Fouad93]

want help in interplation

[sweetsh]

What is this?

[Fouad93]

its a process to find the median!!
want help

[Fouad93]

come on gys no one noes what interpolation means i want some oe to explain it for me!!!!!!

[godfather93]

interpolation is the extraction of data from the curve drawn and extrapolation is the extraction of data from outside the curve.

Fouad they usually tell you to find the mean, you find the midpoints and then mutliply each midpoint with the frequency. Then divide by the sum of the frequencies
Example/: MJ07
q6. b) Midpoint find it for the 1st one (0+0.5)/2 =0.25
                                                                  0.75
                                                                  1.25
                                                                  1.75
                                                                  2.25
                                                                  2.75
                                                                 3.25
                                                                  3.75
then you do this ( (0.25*+(0.75*27)+(1.25*45)+(1.75*50)+(2.25*39)+(2.75*21)+(3.25*7)+(3.75*3) ) / (8+27+45+50+39+21+7+3)

=1.73

so ur saying that interporation is finding the mean!!!

Interpolation is when divide 2 xodinates in a certain ratio to get the other odinate. For example suppose you have (2,6) and (8,3) and you want to find the y ordinate corresponding to x=3. 3 divides 2-8 in ratio 1:5 so divide 6-3 in ratio 1:5 and since the line is down subract your answer from the 6.

interpolation is not finding the mean. Finding the median is part of interpolation becuase you are reading the values of the curve.

I get 3/6=0.5 so the y ordinate =6-0.5=5.5

I  didnt answer about the interpolation thing, he asked about the mean and I answered
