Day 2 review

How can evidence be used to support an inference?

• By guessing the outcome of an event.

• By providing observations that align with the inference.

• By changing the inference to fit the evidence.

• By ignoring contradictory evidence.

What distinguishes an observation from an inference?

• Observations can change, but inferences cannot.

• Observations are always true, while inferences are guesses.

• Observations are data collected through senses, while inferences are interpretations of that data.

• Inferences are more accurate than observations.
