What kind of statement is a conjecture?
A conjecture is a statement that is believed to be true, but has yet to be proven. Conjectures can often be disproven by a counter example and are then referred to as false conjectures.
How can you prove that a conjecture is false?
Give a counter-example.
What disproves a conjecture?
a conjecture is disproved if it is shown to be false. this can be done by providing a single concrete example (e.g. with actual numbers, functions, etc) that shows the conjecture's premise does not necessarily lead to its conclusion. alternatively, a conjecture could be shown to be false (i.e. disproved) by demonstrating that IF it were true then a logical consequence would be a clearly wrong statement (e.g. 2 + 2 =5)
How is testing a conjecture like finding a statement true or falsehow is it different?
well.......Its like testing a conjecture and finding a statement true or false because u have to test it!!! to see if its true or false and its different,true is like something u can prove and false is untrue and u cant prove it. :D i know i don't make sense but that's how i explained it on my homeworklol
Are conjectures allowed in proofs?
Usually not. If you do use conjectures, you should make it quite clear that the proof stands and falls with the truth of the conjecture. That is, if the conjecture happens to be false, then the proof of your statement turns out to be invalid.

What is a statement that shows conjecture is false?
