Data were observed only for 0≤x≤t. Assess a prediction at x=10t.
- Sxx>0; extrapolation beyond observed x needs separate justification and predictions are not certain outcomes.

Worked solution
Use the paired-data summaries, preserving which observations belong together.
Apply the stated relation and retain its conditions.
A good fit inside the sample range does not verify a far-out extrapolation.
The requested relation or conclusion is shown below.
Checks and common pitfalls: A good fit inside the sample range does not verify a far-out extrapolation.
Reasoning checklist · self / teacher assessment
- State a valid definition or model and its assumptions.
- Show the intermediate mathematical relations, not only the final claim.
- Check exclusions, units or the interpretation of the result.
