No, I believe that would be a hypothesis. A prediction would be forecasting the unknown without the assistance of the results.

What is the definition of a useful prediction?

== == Here are various elements that I think a useful prediction would have: It must be theoretically possible to disprove the prediction through objective, observable, independent events. (Good luck with: "I predict that it will be a colder than normal winter, because Yog Sothoth will close the Gate at the moment of the Winter Solstice!") The prediction should concern something of general interest and not something nonsensical. (No one will be interested in your prediction that there will be a noontime for the next seven days in a row!) The prediction should be based on a hypothesis about how some system or process works. Independent events (events that you are not manipulating in any way) should verify your prediction at a rate well beyond chance. Of course, not all predictions will do this, but the ones that do will usually point to other interesting questions that will end up shedding light on the hypothesis. The prediction should be repeatable and verifiable by independent researchers (it should not be a one-time prediction).

True or false a prediction is a statement based on the results of an experiment?

Definitions are opinions; they are used to simplify the processing of contexts rather than to express absolute truths. Opinions don't have truth values. Therefore, the answer to your question is no. Not "true" or "false" but simply no.


What does a prediction mean in science?

In science, a prediction refers to a statement or explanation about what is expected to happen in a particular situation or experiment. It is based on existing knowledge, prior observations, and the use of logical reasoning. Predictions allow scientists to test their hypotheses and theories, as well as guide their research and investigations.
