Observations vs. Inferences

Back

Understanding the difference between observations and inferences is crucial for scientific studies.

Front

Collecting Observations

Back

Observations are collected through careful examination and data gathering.

Inference Definition

Back

An inference is a conclusion drawn from observations and prior knowledge.

Genetics

Back

Genetics is the study of how traits are inherited through genes.
