which of these best describes an inference?

c. an observation, often written as a number
d. a type of personal opinion without support

A statement based on observations ( A )

Explanation:

Inference is drawing a logical conclusion based on educational reasoning and observation of an event. inference can be said to be a guess but it is an educated guess because it is made based on available information.example is a guess made that a man is a soldier based on the observation that the man is carrying a gun.

A piece of information you have collected is not an inference because it involves no logical reasoning from the person collecting the piece of information. an inference is not always written as a number. and lastly a type of personal opinion without support is not an educated guess hence it can't be said to be an inference.
