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.
