Is an empirical evidence the same as a qualitative observation?
No, empirical evidence is based on observation and inference. Qualitative observation is an observation of the qualities of an object. Quantitative observation, on the other hand, is an observation based on some sort of numerical measurement of the object.
Hypothesis it is a--------- based on observation and the knoledge of the topic.?
An hypothesis is a theory based on observation and the knowledge of the topic.
How is scientific observation different from a persons opinion?
A scientific observation is simply what someone has seen but does not (by itself) say anything more. Scientific observations are used to formulate theories and these theories you might call "provisional facts". So, a theory is like a fact that can be overturned by a new observation and causes a newer and better theory to be formulated. After lots of observation the "provisional facts" become clearer and clearer and we get closer to "truth". A scientist's opinion (on a scientific subject) is based on the current theory which in turn is supported by all the observations that have ever been made. A person's opinion is not an observation. It is a conclusion based on what that person believes. Some opinions can not be proven to be wrong (or right). Different people can have different opinions based on the same observations. So, an opinion can only be shown to be wrong if there is evidence to show it is wrong - and a scientific observation is an example of how this can be done. To understand this some more, compare the scientific theory of evolution with creationist views about evolution. Both use the same observations and they disagree. Scientists use all existing observations to formulate theories and the latest and best theory is used to form their opinions because it is the one that accounts for all existing observations successfully. However, creationists start with an opinion about how evolution happened based on the Bible, then selectively ignore observations that conflict with their opinion.
