conjecture vs believe

Both 'conjecture' and 'believe' are correct, but they have different meanings and usage. 'Conjecture' is used when making an educated guess or forming an opinion based on incomplete information, while 'believe' is used to express one's faith or confidence in something. They are not interchangeable as 'conjecture' implies a level of uncertainty that 'believe' does not.
