predictions

Hello students, in this blog we are going to learn about the predictions mean guessing for something. The simple definition of the Predictions is that, it is statement that is made about the future or act of predicting (as by reasoning about the future). The act of foretelling and that which is foretold is predictions. In other words when we predict anything that means that those things will be happen in the future and generally all forecasting is based on the experience or knowledge.
A very suitable synonym for the predictions is the Forecast. But between the prediction and the forecast, there is a overlap and why it is? Let’s see....
In prediction we expect some output while forecast contains the possible outcomes.
Predictions is made for the future means we planned for future that what will be happen when several types of conditions will arises. It is not necessary that every prediction will be right some may be wrong. It can also be defined in the terms of uncertainty.
The most important example about the predictions is that some astrologers said before few years that the world will be no more after the 12 December 2012, and everyone heard this statement, but nobody knows the truth, because it is also a prediction that is based on the some knowledge and books.
Predictions can be done in every field like in science, finance, fiction, politics and in many more.
And it can be done by collecting the past and current data of that particular field that which we want to predict and for collecting data there is several methods.


I hope this information that I gave above will be truly useful for the Grade VI students.

In the next session we are going to discuss Measures of central tendency and dispersion
