I think you mean by interpolation.


Yes, guessing between two known points, in this case 130 and 150 is interpolation. It's more certain than extrapolation, which is guessing beyond a known point, e.g. 130s work, 140s work so 150s should work.

Grammar lesson over, we will now return to your regular programming.

Obviously neither one of you read all the posts in the thread. Interpolation and extrapolation were covered earlier. Welcome to the Office of Redundancy Office. grin
