On your second day of measuring living trees you find a tree with a diameter of 24 inches! Should you predict the volume of this tree? Why or why not? Group of answer choices Yes! Extrapolation is fine. Don't worry about it. No! That would be extrapolation, and extrapolation is bad. (Notice in the plot that we only collected date for diameters between 8 and 22 inches).

Yes! Extrapolation is fine. Don't worry about it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the data we have ranges from 8 to 22 inches, an extrapolation should be made, which is the process of estimating beyond the original observation interval, the value of the variable based on its relationship to another variable. It is similar to interpolation, which produces estimates between known observations, unlike this, extrapolation is subject to greater uncertainty and a higher risk of producing insignificant results, but because the value is 24 inches, it is not too far away. of the upper limit which is 22, the error should not be very big, therefore the answer is: Yes! Extrapolation is fine. Don't worry about it.
