An educated guess is a conclusion or prediction made based on what you already know, rather than on complete information or certainty. It involves using your prior knowledge, experience, and available clues to make a reasonable assumption about something.
Key points about an educated guess:
- It’s more informed than a random guess.
- It relies on some evidence or understanding.
- It’s used when you don’t have all the facts but need to make a decision or estimate.
- Common in everyday life, science, problem-solving, and decision-making.
Example:
If you see dark clouds in the sky and feel the air getting cooler, you might
make an educated guess that it will rain soon. You don’t know for sure, but
your past experience with weather helps you predict it.
