What is an example that shows conjecture is not true?
A counter-example.
What is an example that shows a conjecture is not true called?
hypothesis
Is a case in which a conjecture is not true?
Counterexample
Make a conjecture about the sum of the first 25 positive even numbers?
My conjecture is that the sum is 67. A conjecture does not have to be true, or even plausible. You should be able to test it. If it is found to be true then in is no longer a conjecture, if it is found to be false, it is rejected - and so no longer a conjecture. If it cannot be proved either way, it remains a conjecture.

What is a statement that is believed to be true?
a conjecture
Why only one counterexample is necessary to show that a conjecture is false?
To be true a Conjecture must be true for all cases.
Why can a conjecture be true or false?
Because that is what a conjecture is! It is a proposition that has to be checked out to see f it isalways true, false or indeterminate,sometimes true, false or indeterminate,never true, false or indeterminate.Once its nature has been decided then it is no longer a conjecture.

Counterexample
What is conjecture mathematically?
It is a proposition that is believed to be true but has not [yet] been proven to be true. Clearly, if proven to be false it would no longer be a conjecture.
An example which proves a conjecture false?
Counter Example
What is a statement that shows conjecture is false?
A counter example is a statement that shows conjecture is false.
What is an example for which a conjecture is incorrect?
A counterexample.
