Interpolation Activity

The document consists of a linear interpolation exercise with multiple-choice questions that test knowledge on the concept, applications, and mathematical principles of linear interpolation. Key topics include estimating values between known data points, the formula for linear interpolation, and the accuracy of the method under certain conditions. It also addresses related concepts such as extrapolation and the nature of the relationships between data points.
