Chapter four summaries ENG 75 (TFY)
In this chapter an author is describe the difference between fact and inference, the fact is a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred; "first you must collect all the facts of the case. And also it’s a statement or assertions of verified information about something that is the case or has happened, inference are often confused with facts. A factual statement can be made after some observation, stays within what can be observed, can be made in limited number, and provides closest approach to certainty, while the inferential statement can be made any time, goes beyond what can be observed, can be made in unlimited number, and shows some degree of probability, All the facts are not always presented to the reader or problem solver. They have to be able to infer with skill to put the pieces together and see the entire picture. Facts and inferences are linked together through generalizations, and how to draw generalizations that can be supported by facts.
