When you do something with that observation, like draw a conclusion or offer an explanation or decide that a chemical reaction occurred, then you are making an inference. The inference may or may not be a correct one. Correctness is not what makes the difference between observation and inference. An observation is the awareness of some condition; inference is the result of a mental process which attempts to explain or catalog or speculate about that observation.
We draw inferences on the basis of observations, or on conclusions drawn from previous observations. Inference is the interpretation of facts. (A statement of fact is an observation statement that can be verified by the use of the senses.) Valid inferences are based on sufficient and relevant evidence. Inferences express probability, not certainty. Our training and background provide a basis for our inferences.
