An inference is a logical interpretation based on what scientists observe.
An inference is a conclusion reached by indirect evidence. You may not observe the conclusion directly to be true, but you can logically say that it is from other observations.
An example is seeing a rainbow. If the only time you see a rainbow is after a rain, you can infer that the rain is somehow causing it, without knowing how.

∙ 14y agoIn science, an inference refers to reasonable conclusions or possible hypotheses drawn from a small sampling of data. The adjective "small" can be interpreted as far less than all the possible data that can be collected on a specific subject. Scientists make inferences all the time, which may prove correlations, but don't prove cause. In fact most "known" scientific facts, are inferences since it would be impossible to fully gather all material on a subject.
