Using data to predict what might occur in the future, beyond what the data set has explicitly demonstrated, is called:

Variable anticipation
The futures market
Predicate analysis
Extrapolation

Explanation

Answer: D - Extrapolation is the use of recorded data to predict events in similar groups or in the future. For example, if annual standardized test scores decreased in Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana, that data could be used to extrapolate (or predict) that annual standardized test scores also decreased in Mississippi.
