It can.
Basically, inference is looking at the evidence and coming to some conclusion as to what something is likely to be. That sentence has many vague words in it so here are some examples that might help:
Logical inference: Dogs are mammals. Rover is a dog. Inference: Rover is a mammal.
Mathematical inference works in the same way but the statements are mathematical.
Statistical inference is also similar but the results refer to statements of likelihood rather than certainty.
So, if I analysed the lengths of all of Shakespeare's plays, I could calculate the average length of a Shakesperian play and tell you that I expect a play of his to be around so many pages (or words). Or I could find out the maximum and my inference could be that the play is sure to be less than or equal to that number.
An inference is something which you deduce that the speaker or write means although he hasn't said anything about it directly. If you came in and said, "My, it's hot in here", I might infer that the heating needs turning down.

An observation is something that can be seen with your own eyes, and an inference is something based on face. Therefore, an inference does not come before an observation, but rather after.
Inference is based on something while prediction isn't. Inference is based on logic or statistics, something reasonable. Prediction is a way of telling the future without a basis.

An observation is something that you see or measure. An inference is a conclusion usually based on the observation.
A supported inference when you draw a conclusion about something using evidence. The evidence is the support for what you have inferred.
An example of an inference is meeting someone at a train station and they tell you they do not have money and you offer to pay their ticket. Inference means using knowledge and logic to draw conclusions.
