On which surfaces did you move the box?

The force of friction between the two surfaces will increase if the two surfaces are pressed harder against each other. Heavy box will press the floor surface harder as compared to the lighter box. That means the force of friction will be more between the heavier box and surface than between the lighter box and surface. Thus, larger force will be needed to push the heavier box than to push the lighter one.

you didn't give any options but heres what i can tell you: an inference is likely to change based on additional observations. the latter is something that you have seen or sensed using your sensory organs while the former is like a conclusion out from what you have observed.

the answer is true when observing or determining population size, a direct observation is use, in which each organism is counted in a population or in an area. one benefit of this measure is that you get the exact population count but it will take a long time to  determine  the  size  of a  population.
