We present observable lower and upper bounds for the entanglement of formation (EOF) and quantum discord (QD), which facilitates estimates of EOF and QD for arbitrary experimental unknown states in finite-dimensional bipartite systems. These bounds can be easily obtained by a few experimental measurements on a twofold copy {rho} x {rho} of the mixed states. Based on our results, we use the experimental measurement data of the real experiment given by Schmid et al.[Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 260505 (2008)] to obtain the lower and upper bounds of EOF and QD for the experimental unknown state.
