If you know the two values you shouldn't have to estimate. But you are looking for the mean, or average. Simply add them together and divide by two. Otherwise you are just estimating.

What is it to use given data to estimate a value beyond the known values?

It means to decide what the next thing would be based on the things you already know. For example, if you had a linear equation (a graph where the line is completely straight) and you knew three points, you would be able to use the three points (the known values) to figure out what the fourth or fifth points (the value you are estimating) would be based on the space between each point (the given data).It is called extrapolation (or forecasting) and is usually subject to quite large errors.

It is called EXTRAPOLATION and should only be used with great care.


What does discrete mean in algebra?

In basic algebra a discrete variable is one that can only take on specific set of values. For example, if we were to say that X can only take on a whole value between 1 and 10, then X would be a discrete variable. On the other hand, a continuous variable is one that can take on an unlimited number of values. For example, if we were to say X can take on ANY value between 1 and 10, then X is called a continious variable. The important thing to note is that the range of a variable (the min and max values it can take) is different than whether it is discrete or continuous. Discrete only implies a fixed (and known) set of values is possible for a variable


What is the echelon of a matrix?

The eigen values of a matirx are the values L such that Ax = Lxwhere A is a matrix, x is a vector, and L is a constant.The vector x is known as the eigenvector.


What are the entries of a matrix?

The eigen values of a matirx are the values L such that Ax = Lxwhere A is a matrix, x is a vector, and L is a constant.The vector x is known as the eigenvector.
