Given the rainfall data for the hours: 8 AM - 10 mm, 9 AM - 15 mm, and unknown for 10 AM, employ linear interpolation to estimate the missing value.
💡 Hint: Calculate the average value based on adjacent known values.
You have three rainfall points: 2 PM (20 mm), 3 PM (25 mm), and 4 PM (unknown). Describe how you would use spline interpolation to estimate the value at 4 PM.
💡 Hint: Focus on fitting a curve rather than connecting with a straight line.
