Supposition. (Synonyms for guess; assumption)

Hi teachers,
Would the blue words in parentheses be synonyms for the preceding ones?
What’s Mary's guess (supposition) when she arrives where Peter is?
How right was Mary in her assumption (supposition)?

Thanks in advance.

They are close in meaning. You could say that "guess" is less certain than "assumption". Maybe "supposition" is somewhere in between.
