Now applying Newton’s forward interpolation formula in above given data we get,

y 5 ( 6 )=0.240

Resulted table is:

Since, the number of missing data for D10 -7, D10-5 is two which is at interval 6-hour, 8-hour and
4-hour and 6-hour time interval respectively we have to apply the Newton’s forward
interpolation at the interval of 10-hour time.

It will be a tedious process to calculate for each and every data set so, here we will use
MATLAB to automate our calculation and get the final result and tabulate the data,
