What is the difference between a qualitative and quantitative statement?
A qualitative statement is subjective and based purely off of observation without comparison. For example, the statement, “He is tall.” A quantitative statement is objective and typically uses numbers or measurement. For example, the statement, “He is 190 cm tall.”
What is interpolation?
An assumption about data that has already been collected.
What is extrapolation?
A prediction for data that is outside the data set
What is the difference between extrapolation and interpolation?
Interpolation is based off of data within the set, while extrapolation predicts data outside the data set.
