Grammar
Infer or deduce
Hi,
“You can infer the economic optimum from the graph.”
“You can make an inference about the economic optimum from the graph.”
“You can deduce the economic optimum from the graph.”
Which one is the most natural?
The second sentence sounds a bit stilted to my ear.
Thank you.

They're all good. I would probably use "infer," but "conclude" is also good. There are many ways to say the same thing.
