Extrapolate
Hi,
Would you ever use the word ‘extrapolate’ in a normal conversation with a friend or perhaps with a teacher?
For instance
-> to a teacher “When we look at the data set, we can extrapolate the frequency of the individual variables.”
-> to a friend “When you look at how other families behave when they are staring down the barrel of a divorce, you can extrapolate how people usually handle these things.”
Thank you.
