There are several possible explanations: Leaving aside the two most obvious reasons: calculation error and attempted extrapolation, there are the following possibilities:
The true relationship is non-linear.
A relevant variable has been missed omitted.
The observations are very variable: leading to a very large residual error.
There is not enough variation in the independent (or predictive) variable so that Sxx is very small.
once an equation for a regression is derived it can be used to predict possible future
The noun forms of the verb to predict are predictor, prediction, and the gerund, predicting.The adverb form is predictably.
You can use the online prediction height calculator to predict the adult height.
regression analysis
Yes, that is what allows you to predict data values based on the information you have. It also tells you other things about the data set such as the correlation.
A scatter graph on the data you already have, then place a regression line ( line of best fit) across the points and predict the information based on this line. It obviously isn't accurate and is only a prediction and if there is no correlation in the plotted points and no line of best fit can be placed on there can be no prediction made.
