Detailed explanation-1: -An INFERENCE is an assumption or conclusion based on an observation. It is a logical interpretation based on observations and prior knowledge. Data may also be QUALITATIVE or QUANTITATIVE. Qualitative data is information that is hard to measure, count, or describe in numbers.
Detailed explanation-2: -An observation uses your five senses, while an inference is a conclusion we draw based on our observations. It might be helpful to have some examples. Observations can be made only with the five senses. Example: I see that the red and green flowers are growing.
Detailed explanation-3: -An inference then uses past knowledge to say something about that observation. An inference does not necessarily have to be correct, just a conclusion drawn from an observation. Observations are based in fact and describe how something is actually observed where as any processing of those observations are inferences.
