an educated guess or assumtion or guess or prediction about what is going to happen
The statement "the damage at this scene was caused by an explosion" is an inference rather than an observation. An observation is a direct, factual statement based on sensory data, while an inference involves interpreting or drawing a conclusion based on observations. In this case, the statement goes beyond direct sensory data to make a conclusion about the cause of the damage, making it an inference.
You call it an OBSERVATION.
Inference is not directly involved in forming a shock wave. A shock wave is a sudden disturbance in a medium that travels faster than the speed of sound, creating a rapid change in pressure and temperature. It is primarily a physical phenomenon rather than one that involves inference or deductive reasoning.
Rutherford based his inference on the results of the gold foil experiment where he observed that most of the alpha particles passed straight through the foil, suggesting that atoms were mostly empty space, with a small, positively charged nucleus at the center. This led to the development of the nuclear model of the atom.
The observation could be explained by a combination of factors such as environmental conditions, individual behaviors, or external influences. Further analysis and data collection may be needed to fully understand the underlying reasons behind the observation.

I think An observation about that inference is about that object.
observation is observation! :)inference is inference! :)Assuming you meant "Differentiate observation from inference ?" !....Observation is the act of being able to physically see an object - inference is implying something is real without physical proof of its existence.Incidentally - why was this put into the category 'animal life' !

Inference is a logical interpretation. Observation is using your senses.

no
A observation
It is an inference
An observation is something that can be seen with your own eyes, and an inference is something based on face. Therefore, an inference does not come before an observation, but rather after.
