Guess and Conjecture

Explanation:

Conjecture is simply an opinion gotten from an incomplete information .Fro example. 10 boys selected from Nigeria were served pizza. None of them ate pizza.

it is a conjecture to conclude that all the males in Nigeria do not eat pizza, because the information is incomplete

Guess is almost similar to conjecture. It is conclusion from incomplete information. It is based on one's personal opinion. Guess can be true or false. it is underprobaility and hence cant be banked upon to explain a proof.
