text: Applied to our driving example, inference is at work as you, the driver, take in data (there's an SUV behind me moving erratically); make an assumption or a hypothesis based on that data (that SUV is going to hit me if I stay in this lane); test your hypothesis (let's see what happens if I move into the right lane); examine the results to confirm or refute your hypothesis (the SUV didn't hit me, so it looks like I made the right choice); and learn from the process (if that happens again, I'll be sure to do the same thing).
