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.

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 conjecture can you make about the sum of the first 46 positive odd numbers?
Any conjecture you want; a conjecture is merely an opinion or conclusion based on given information. Whether the conjecture is true or not is left to be proved (if provable at all). One opinion (conjecture) could be that the sum is "blue". It's a totally nonsense conjecture, but its a conjecture none the less. A sensible conjecture might be that the sum is odd. This can be tested and found to be true or false by summing the first 46 odd numbers (a mechanical method that is fairly easy in this case), or by the mathematical manipulation of axioms via algebra (a mathematical proof).
