The functions PREDX and PREDY estimate (predict) values
for X or Y given a hypothetical value for the other. The
estimation is made based on the curve that has been
calculated to fit the data according to the specified fit.
1. In Plot view, draw the regression curve for the data
set.
2. Press to move to the regression curve.
3. Press and enter the value of X. The cursor
jumps to the specified point on the curve and the
coordinate display shows X and the predicted value
of Y.
