A conjecture is formally defined as a based-on-observations, a statement considered true.
Speculation is similar to your opinion about something you follow or perhaps a knowledgeable estimate.
For example, observe the numbers below: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. What number would come next? You're probably thinking 14, but What led you to that conclusion, and why? You may have seen the pattern and that the list is counting in twos.
