Hence it is used in
1.predicting next year's salary of a free-agent baseball player, given the player's previous season's salary and the player's age.
2.predicting a 40-year-old man's height, in centimeters, given his shoe size and his weight, in kilograms
In this two situations we can only use multiple regression.
