from one supplier, 30 percent of the syringes are not sealed well, and 10 percent of the nettles are mislabled for size. Inference: all other products need to be examined.

Kids in the emergency clinic have a mean body mass index of 35, with a deviation of 4.
Inference: fat kids are having more medical problems than normal.

Inference means to extend beyond the actual data.
