Qualitative vs. Quantitative Fact versus Inference Qualitative vs. Quantitative

Fact versus Inference Your observations and collection of data will lead you to make statements of fact and statements of inference. You will have to be able to analyze your statements and identify which are fact and which are inference.

Fact Observable Measureable Does not depend on prior experience Qualitative Observations: gathered using 5 senses Example: color, texture etc. Measureable Quantitative Observation Uses numbers Does not depend on prior experience Is not subject to opinion

Inference Cannot be observed Cannot be measured Is concluded by making assumptions

Inference Cannot be observed Cannot be measured Is concluded by making assumptions Is based on opinion

Fact versus Inference What can you observe about this image? Which of those observations are facts? Which of those observations are inferences? What conclusion can you come to about this image?
