In a conditional statement, the independent part is the hypothesis and the dependent part is the conclusion.

In an if-then statement, the part of the statement immediately following 鈥渋f鈥� is the hypothesis, and the part of the statement immediately following 鈥渢hen鈥� is the conclusion.

The given statement is 鈥淛oe will go to the mall after class鈥�. This is equivalent to writing 鈥淛oe will go to the mall when class is over.鈥�

The given statement has two parts, 鈥渃lass is over鈥� and 鈥淛oe will go to the mall鈥�.

Note that the class being over does not depend on Joe going to the mall. However, Joe going to the mall is dependent on the class is over.

So, 鈥渃lass is over鈥� is the independent part of the statement and thus, the hypothesis. Similarly, 鈥淛oe will go to the mall鈥� is the dependent part of the statement and thus, the conclusion.

Write the hypothesis after 鈥渋f鈥� and conclusion after 鈥渢hen鈥� in an if-then statement to get:

鈥淚f a class is over, then Joe will go to the mall.鈥�

This is the required if-then statement.
