anonymous · Answer

really?  i would not pick any of these , but i guess you could go with generalization

kinggeorge · Answer

I would call it a generalization.

anonymous · Answer

because the others are certainly wrong

anonymous · Answer

A statement, opinion, or conclusion based on guesswork

kinggeorge · Answer

Although, like satellite, I don't think that's always correct. You can make conjectures that aren't generalizations.

agreene · Answer

Latin conjectūra  (< Middle French ) inferring, reasoning, equivalent to conject ( us ) past participle of conjicere  to throw together, form a conclusion

So says my etymological dictionary... basically, you can call it a guess.
