A conjecture is an educated guess or a proposition that is believed to be true based on preliminary evidence or reasoning, but has yet to be proven or substantiated. In mathematics, for example, a conjecture is a statement that appears to be true because of observed patterns or numerical evidence, but it requires a formal proof to be accepted as a theorem. Conjectures play a crucial role in the development of mathematical theories, as they often lead to further research and exploration.
