alike: both guesses
Inferential statistics is concerned with making predictions or inferences about a population from observations and analyses of a sample. That is, we can take the results of an analysis using a sample and can generalize it to the larger population that the sample represents. In order to do this, however, it is imperative that the sample is representative of the group to which it is being generalized.
Inferential statistics uses data from a small group to make generalizations or inferences about a larger group of people. Inferential statistics should be used with "inferences".

Qualitative predictions are predictions based on quality. How effective is the product, or program expected to be? Quantitative predictions are based on quantities, in other words, numbers. How many people, products or units are expected.
You gather information in both obsevations and inferences
they use the information from their observations to make inferences
You observe the world objectively. You can apply prior knowledge to make innferences. Taking you're inferences, you can factor in your knowledge of the future and predict what will happen.
You make a prediction before experimentation-you predict what will happen. You make an inference after experimentation-you infer the results.
conclusions reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.
Inferences about population parameters typically involve estimating characteristics such as means, proportions, and variances based on sample data. These inferences can be point estimates, which provide a single value, or interval estimates, which offer a range likely to contain the parameter (e.g., confidence intervals). Additionally, hypothesis testing can be used to determine if observed sample results are statistically significant, helping to draw conclusions about the broader population. Overall, these inferences help researchers understand and make predictions about population behavior based on limited data.

Scientific inferences are based on observations
Inferences are educated guesses.
Drawing inferences is the process of using existing information and evidence to reach conclusions or make predictions about situations that are not explicitly stated. Its purpose is to enhance understanding by allowing individuals to connect dots, interpret meanings, and make educated guesses based on context. This skill is essential in critical thinking, reading comprehension, and decision-making, enabling deeper insights and informed judgments. Ultimately, drawing inferences fosters analytical thinking and enriches communication and problem-solving abilities.
Inferential statistics. This branch of statistics involves making inferences or predictions about a population based on data collected from a sample taken from that population.
Inferences are based on reasoning from what you already know and your five senses.
