What are the differences between inference and observation?
An observation is something you saw yourself, while an inference is essentially an assumption about that object. For example, if you saw a laptop in a store, you can observe that it is expensive, and you can infer that it is expensive because it works better.
How does inference differ observation?
An observation is what you see. An inference is the conclusion you draw from what you saw. A common analogy; You may be doing a chemistry experiment and when you put two substances together, the mixture bubbles and brown gas comes off. You know that brown gas indicates nitrogen dioxide gas. The observation would be "Mixture bubbles and brown gas is given off" The inference would be "A gas is produced, nitrogen dioxide" Observations are things you use your "five senses" to determine - how something smells, looks, tastes, sounds, or feels.
What is the difference between a qualitative observation and quantitative observation?
A qualitative observation is an observation of what something is, such as, I saw a pig, I saw sunlight, I saw a plane flying by, I saw a green fluid, etc. A quantitative observation is a numerical measurement of something, such as, I have 7.9 grams of sugar, the current air temperature is 13o C, the car is traveling at 52 kph, etc.
What does quantitative observation mean?
Quantitative observation means that your description of what you observedincludes a definite number that you measured.For example:"I saw a really big guy." is not a quantitative observation."I saw a guy who is 8 feet tall." is a quantitative observation.

Why is quantitiue observation different from qualitatiue observation?
well quantitative is a a observation using numbers and qualitative observation is a observation with quality ex. quantitative when i was looking at the gas price it went up 10% ex. qualitative wow i saw a greenish orange bird fly around the school
I saw a seagull flying over my house but I don't live near the sea why is it here?
Usually seagulls fly in land when the weather is stormy out at sea.
