Not even close, sorry.

An inference means that you make a guess at what someone has said or has written when it is not actually stated.

A hypothesis is a logical statement of "If this and if that, then this will occur."

For instance a good hypothesis might be, "Humans are mammals. All mammals have a brain and nurse their young. Therefore, humans have a brain and nurse their young."

This hypothesis, as with all of them, is tested by trying to prove that it is false. If enough people fail to find a hypothesis false, then eventually, it could be called a theory.
