The variability in Y should be associated with regression variation, meaning that changes in Y should be dependent on changes in X in order for X to be a good predictor of Y. Variability in XY does not necessarily guarantee a strong predictive relationship between the two variables. The variability in X alone is not enough to determine if it predicts Y, as it is the relationship between X and Y that matters.
