TRY THIS • p: true • q: true • r : false • Find the truth value for the statement below [p v (q ^ r)] v ~ q
Conditional Statement • Is a statement that is true unless p is true and q is false • p is called the antecedent (comes before something else) • q is called the consequent ( the result) • Can also be called the hypothesis and the conclusion • Symbol for conditional statement is an arrow • p q is read as “if p then q”
