alike: both guesses
Inferential statistics is concerned with making predictions or inferences about a population from observations and analyses of a sample. That is, we can take the results of an analysis using a sample and can generalize it to the larger population that the sample represents. In order to do this, however, it is imperative that the sample is representative of the group to which it is being generalized.
Inferential statistics uses data from a small group to make generalizations or inferences about a larger group of people. Inferential statistics should be used with "inferences".
Asking yourself "I wonder . . ." as you read
Qualitative predictions are predictions based on quality. How effective is the product, or program expected to be? Quantitative predictions are based on quantities, in other words, numbers. How many people, products or units are expected.

You gather information in both obsevations and inferences
they use the information from their observations to make inferences
You observe the world objectively. You can apply prior knowledge to make innferences. Taking you're inferences, you can factor in your knowledge of the future and predict what will happen.
You make a prediction before experimentation-you predict what will happen. You make an inference after experimentation-you infer the results.
The Tagalog word for "inferences" is "mga palagay."
Scientific inferences are based on observations
Inferences are educated guesses.
Inferences are based on reasoning from what you already know and your five senses.
Yes, it is possible to make many inferences from an observation.
Inferences should be based on objective observation and logical reasoning.

Sound inferences lead to accurate conclusions which in turn can lead to successful actions. Faulty inferences lead to inaccurate conclusions which in turn can lead to failure in our endeavors.
