Interpolation When finding percentiles using Figure 3-5,
Chapter 3, Problem 38(choose chapter or problem)
Interpolation When finding percentiles using Figure 3-5, if the locator L is not awhole number, we round it up to the next larger whole number. An alternative to thisprocedure is to interpolate. For example, using interpolation with a locator of L = 23.75leads to a value that is 0.75 (or 3>4) of the way between the 23rd and 24th values. Usethis method of interpolation to find P17 for the chocolate chip counts in Table 3-5. Howdoes the result compare to the value that would be found by using Figure 3-5 withoutinterpolation?
