The ladder of inference is a decision making tool that describes the thinking process that we go through in order to get from a fact to a decision or action, and can help formulate better conclusions, or challenge the conclusion of others…

I conducted my research on a Wednesday morning, around 10 am, which was not an optimal time, since most people were either already at work, still in bed, or just at home. My field notes were mostly taken based on descriptive inference because I didn’t interact with any of my subjects to try and clarify the purpose of certain behaviors/actions that I couldn’t understand. For instance, I noticed two groups of people, “an old couple and two women,” take pictures from the exact same…

When making my Bitstrip I had to keep in mind the five conventions of graphic novels. The five conventions are: inference, time, space, lines and colour. In my comic I used three out of the five conventions of graphic novels. The three conventions I used in my bitstrip was time, lines and inference.

To generate purpose is to know the goal or objective that is being achieved. Information is the data that is collected, while interpretation and inferences are the conclusions that are achieved. The concepts involve knowing all of the laws and policies that make the information factual. Assumptions are taking the information for granted without fact finding or coming to a logical reason.

goods and as the mode of trade evolves, so does the currencies which enable the trade. The nineteenth century economic system was built on slavery (Hogendorn 56). In this way, the number and the quality of slaves became a sign of wealth and on this inference; slaves became the currency at the time.

superintendent or any leader making decisions, there is a large amount of data and variables that must be analyzed and connected to support the core task. Particularly in the Oak Ridge City School System, a small amount of descriptive data can lead to large inferences. This means that when multiple data points are involved, even a small amount of data to analyze can be used to determine…

to make perfect logical inferences. All of these assumptions together set base for the rational choice theory. For any theory to be considered valid, it needs certain presuppositions to deem its validity. In case of the rational choice theory, one of the presuppositions is that, an inferential system that is based on a set of logical and statistical truths or laws leads to valid rules of inference that are considered to be reliable. Hence, these rules lead to inferences or conclusions that are…
