Math is Fun ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Definition of Conjecture more ... sage the dog thinking

A statement that might be true (based on some research or reasoning) but is not proven.

It is like a hypothesis, but not stated in a formal or testable way.

So a conjecture is like an educated guess.

Example: I heard the sound of a plastic bag, so I conjectured there might be some food!
