Yes and no! Not by the normal and strict definition of counting where you sit there going "one, two etc..."
An inference is where you deduce a conclusion from some known facts/information.
So counting in this manner is not an example because there is no deductive process involved (there is no reasoning involved).
Here is an example (not of counting) where there is reasoning: if I told you that x was greater than y, and that y was greater than 0, then you could infer that therefore x was greater than 0. You would have taken the information (the evidence if you like) and reasoned some further piece of information from it. You would have inferred something!
So, finally, let me give you an example where counting perhaps could be an inference. Suppose we know that there are x number of stars in another galaxy. And suppose there is also some scientific evidence which suggests that the average number of planets orbiting a star in this galaxy is 2. Then we could inferthat there are 2x number of planets in this particular galaxy. (Note: we might be wrong about that; an inference does not necessarily have to be correct!)

Is 7 a counting number number?
7 is a counting number. But I am not sure what a counting number number is!
What is the product of a counting number and itself?
That's the "square" of the number. With counting numbers, the square will always be another counting number.
Does an inference tell you how long something is?
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.
If a number is a counting number or the opposite of a counting number then it's an integer?
Yes, and including zero.
What is the 10th number if counting by 12?
If counting by twelves, the tenth number will be 120.
What are facts about inference?
There are no fact about inference. It is something that is implied but not stated directly.
What are Facts about an inference?
There are no fact about inference. It is something that is implied but not stated directly.
Does an inference come before an observation?
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.
How do you inference and predictions differ?
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 inference is something that is?
not directly stated.
What is something that is not directly stated?
inference
How is 23 used in everyday life?
As a number counting the how many of something is present.
Is 7 a counting number number?
7 is a counting number. But I am not sure what a counting number number is!
Why does a theory differ from an inference?

What is the difference between an inference and prediction?
Rock my name is ebony it has a lot of thing that you can make
What is differrent betweenobservation and inference?
An observation is something that you see or measure. An inference is a conclusion usually based on the observation.
What is supported inference?
A supported inference when you draw a conclusion about something using evidence. The evidence is the support for what you have inferred.
