Useing Linear Interpolation to estimate the median.

[Nightma12]

Explain please My maths teacher is a b*tch and she said that were having an exam on monday and if i fail it shes going to drop me from maths :/

She didnt f*cking explain it properly....

are we talking interpolation between two points or interpolation of a function?

[Nightma12]

Between two numbers

[raulperez]

well then, you just use the slope formula and generate a linear function
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
insert that value into the slope intercept form of a linear equation (y=mx+b) along with one of the points and solve for b
b=y-mx
and then generate a generic function using the m and b you've found
y=mx+b
then just substitute in any x between the two points and you'll get the value for y

that take care of your question?

he made that sound way more complicated than it really was o.o - finding the equation of a line?

Well was little bit a trick question , sadly i forgotten most my math from high school

what the f*ck? 8O

I am given a whole list of numbers and I have to find the median of them useing interpolation :/
