Use Euler diagrams to determine whether each argument is valid or invalid. All professors are wise people. Some professors are actors. Therefore, some wise people are actors.
Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then determine whether the argument is valid or invalid. You may use a truth table or, if applicable, compare the argument's symbolic form to a standard valid or invalid form. (You can ignore differences in past, present, and future tense.) If a metrorail system is not in operation, there are traffic delays. Over the past year there have been no traffic delays. \(\therefore\) Over the past year a metrorail system has been in operation.
Use a truth table to determine whether the symbolic form of the argument is valid or invalid. $$ \begin{aligned} &p \rightarrow q \\ &\frac{q \wedge r}{\therefore p \vee r} \end{aligned} $$
Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then determine whether the argument is valid or invalid. You may use a truth table or, if applicable, compare the argument's symbolic form to a standard valid or invalid form. (You can ignore differences in past, present, and future tense.) If Tim and Janet play, then the team wins. Tim played and the team did not win. \(\therefore\) Janet did not play.
Use a truth table to determine whether the symbolic form of the argument is valid or invalid. $$ \begin{aligned} &p \leftrightarrow q \\ &\underline{q \rightarrow r} \\ &\therefore \sim r \rightarrow \sim p \end{aligned} $$
