Examples of Inference The term "inference" refers to the process of using observation and background knowledge as well as other known premises to determine a conclusion that makes sense. Inference: Deriving Conclusions from Indications Some examples of inference are: 1.)Sally arrives at home at 4:30 and knows that her mother does not get off of work until 5. Sally also sees that the lights are off in their house. Sally can infer that her mother is not yet home. 2.)Sarah left a Payless Shoes bag on the floor and is wearing shiny red heels. It can be inferred that Sarah went shoe shopping. 3.)A child tries a new fruit and makes a disgusted face. His mother can infer that he does not like the taste of the fruit. 4.)Julia works at a pet store and owns four cats, a lizard, a dog and a rabbit. It can be inferred that Julia is a pet lover. 5.)Karen bought six lottery tickets the previous day and quit work the next day. Her co-workers can infer that she won the lottery.
