It's called illogical extrapolation.
The process of arriving at a specific conclusion based on previously accepted general statements? Is called extrapolation.
Extrapolation.
Extrapolation is the theory behind estimating guesses. It is the method used to determine a value by predicting what the outcome will be, based on trends. Ways it can benefit someone in life is when predicting what their next cheque will be. If one is on commissions, they often can try to estimate how much they need to sell in order to reach a certain level for bonuses.
When I run 10 miles in 10 minutes, I use extrapolation to see how long it takes to run 30 miles. =_=

Interpolation and Extrapolation
Interpolation & extrapolation
The answer is linear extrapolation.
The results are more reliable for interpolation .
This is a process wherein a forecast of events is based on observation. Predictions can reliable only when there is regularity in the changes observed. Predictions are also safe if the variables can be controlled or if there are less variables that can possibly affect predictions. One can predict what is to happen at a certain time when predictions are based on observations and past experience. Predictions, therefore, can be within or beyond observed events.Interpolation is a prediction made based on observed data, while extrapolation is a forecast beyond observed data.
A great amount of confusion seem to have grown up in the use of words 'forecast', 'prediction' and 'projection'. A prediction is an estimate based solely in past data of the series under investigation. It is purely mechanical extrapolation. A projection is a prediction where the extrapolated values are subjects to a certain numerical assumptions. A forecast is an estimate which relates the series in which we are interested to external factors. Forecasts are made by estimating future values of the external factors by means of prediction, projection or forecast and from these values calculating the estimate of the dependent variable.
Since a prediction is based off of one's thoughts/understanding of the story.
