This document discusses linear interpolation, a method for estimating an unknown value x given a cumulative distribution function F(x) and a probability p. It provides the formulas for calculating x as the median when p=0.5, the first quartile when p=0.25, and generally as a weighted average of adjacent values aj-1 and aj when the probability p falls between known values of the CDF Fj-1 and Fj.
