An observation is something you can actually see, for example, bubbles during a reaction. However, an inference is the meaning you take from an observation, for example, you may infer that hydrogen was produced if you observed bubbles.
There are two types of observation. There is what is referred to as the qualitative observation and what is referred to as quantitative observation. Qualitative observations do not deal with numbers, but rather details of an experiment per se. An example would be how a precipitate looks that was formed from a reaction. Quantitative observations deal with numbers; an example would be the amount of a substance (in grams) formed from a completed reaction.
A qualitative observation merely indicates that the subject possesses a certain quality, for example "this water is salty". A quantitative observation takes a measurement of the quality, for example "this salty water has a concentration of 10% salt".
An observation is something noticed directly by your senses. There are three different types of observations. A qualitative observation is an observation about essential attributes of an object. For example, color, shape, texture, etc would be examples. A quantitative observation is an observation that can be described or measured in concrete numerical quantity. For example, weight, temperature, height, length, and mass would be examples. two types of observation: participant & non-participant
Managers at different levels of the organization have different information needs to better manage the tasks that are in front of them. Low-level managers, for example, do not need information about financial specifics of a company, because it is not their job to manage finances.

There is no specific collective noun for managers, in which case a noun appropriate for the situation is used; for example, a crew of managers, a team of managers, etc.
A qualitative observation is used in chemistry, and is simply observing physical changes.
An example of a qualitative observation is describing the color of a flower as being pink. This type of observation is based on qualities or characteristics that cannot be measured, such as texture, smell, or taste.
