An inference refers to a reasonable conclusion, possible hypotheses drawn from data.
Inference is where you make an educated guess about how something works based on observations.

Differentiate observation from inference?

Scientific observation is the collection of scientific evidence. It is the act of noting certain aspects of something through scientific study. So one might, for example, observe that the Sun appears to travel across the sky.Inference is the act of taking some known evidence and then reasoning a further fact from it. Inference can be based on evidence collected through observation or it can be based on pure reason alone. So, for example, we might infer from our observation that the Sun appears to travel across the sky that this means the Earth is rotating on its axis. An inference is not necessarily correct (it is in this example of course).
