Inferences Definition
How do we make inferences? What is an inference?
3
An inference is an assumed fact based on available information. It is using observation & background to reach a logical conclusion. For example, if you see someone eating new food and he or she makes a face, then you infer he does not like it. Or if someone slams a door, you can infer that she is upset about something.
