When we think about science and drawing conclusions we usually think of evidence. Factual statements or
conclusions in science are based on observations that are :
-objective
-usually quantitative
-comes from a primary source
-may be observed/recorded more than once
A scientific observation is different from a inference. An inference involves a degree of probability that an
scientific observation does not. Elaborate on this statement.
A) An inference is a statement that goes beyond what can be
observed.
B) An inference provides the closest approach to certainty without
actual observation.
C) An inference is a prediction based on new knowledge that you
acquire from research.
D) An inference is the result of running one or more tests about
what you believe to be true.
