An observation is something you experience directly with your senses - it's a fact. An inference is something you guess is happening based on what you observe - it's a guess.
Her own observations and the observations of others
conclusions reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.
There are two categories of scientific observations, Quantitative and Qualitative.The definitions of these two types of observations can be derived from their names.Qualitative: The base word is Quality. Observations can be made about the qualities of different items, i.e., leaves are green, birds can fly, water is clear.Quantitative: The base word is Quantity. Something you can measure or count i.e., a tree has 1000 leaves, birds have two wings, water has a density of ~1000 kilograms per cubic meter.
Inference: A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.
the difference is that results are the answers to the observations.
ew go away
Scientific inferences are based on observations
You gather information in both obsevations and inferences
Observations are what you see (i.e. i saw a bird flying today), and inferences are reasonable conclusions based upon what you know (i.e. the bird was flying to get food for its young). Both of these are methods of finding information.
yes
Using observations, you can discover patterns in data and make an inference
observations
They both give information
Using observations, you can discover patterns in data and make an inference

No, inferences are conclusions drawn based on observed evidence or facts. Without making observations first, there is no basis to draw logical conclusions or make accurate inferences. Observations provide the necessary information to make sense of a situation and draw meaningful conclusions.
