You need to specify the kind of regression....

It's obviously not linear. But it might be quadratic, or exponential, or even cubic. Different types of regression will predict different values for x=4.

Re-post, specifying the type of regression.

.

Look into sequential ratios


    6.2 : 1.9     is about 3;


    18.0 : 6.2    is about 3;


    54.2 : 18.0   is about 3.


It tells you that the regression is (or should be; or you can expect it) an exponential function.


So, go to GOOGLE and ask about "exponential regression online calculator".


GOOGLE will return you many links to relevant web-sites.


Take anyone you like more than others.
