Answer:

A inference is a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.

A observation is an act or instance of regarding attentively or watching

Step-by-step explanation:

Example for a inference would be - lets say you notice someone isnt acting like theirself you may infer that their not having a good day or their not in a mood

Observation example- when your doing a lab for science you may observe the different types of utensils or the effects of the object you use like oh this is blue or something
