Difference Between Observation and Inference

observation vs inferenceIn statistics, you have come across the terms, observation and inference, several times. Observation means an act of monitoring, something, i.e. objects, units, persons or anything else, by using senses. In this process, the observer stays at the place of the survey and observes the objects under consideration and notes down the observations himself.

Answer 2

Observation is more of recording or remarking an event or phenomena, whereas an inference is what you make of that observation or what conclusion you draw from it. An inference may or may not depend on the said observation only, it may involve other observations.
