Question

Given a conditional statement p

q, which statement is logically equivalent?

mp - -

~ -- ~p

9 – p

p --

Answer 1

q⇒p

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, a conditional statement refers to a statement in which if the hypothesis meets a certain condition then it leads to a conclusion.

For example, the statement, "If John passes his maths exam, then he will be bought a new tablet," means that p (passing the exam) implies q (been bought a new tablet) denoted by p⇒q.

That is to say, the logical equivalent (contrapositive) would be q⇒p (been bought a new tablet implies John passes his maths exam).
