Use Euler diagrams to determine whether each argument is valid or invalid. All dogs have fleas. Some dogs have rabies. Therefore, all dogs with rabies have fleas.
Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then determine whether the argument is valid or invalid. It is the case that \(x<3\) or \(x>10\), but \(x \leq 10\), so \(x<3\).
Conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh directed this passage at liberals and the way they think about crime. Of course, liberals will argue that these actions [contemporary youth crime] can be laid at the foot of socioeconomic inequities, or poverty. However, the Great Depression caused a level of poverty unknown to exist in America today, and yet I have been unable to find any accounts of crime waves sweeping our large cities. Let the liberals chew on that. (See, I Told You So, p. 83) Limbaugh's passage can be expressed in the form of an argument: If poverty causes crime, then crime waves would have swept American cities during the Great Depression. Crime waves did not sweep American cities during the Great Depression. \(\therefore\) Poverty does not cause crime. (Liberals are wrong.) Translate this argument into symbolic form and determine whether it is valid or invalid.
Use a truth table to determine whether the symbolic form of the argument is valid or invalid. $$ \begin{aligned} &p \rightarrow q \\ &\underline{q \rightarrow r} \\ &\therefore r \rightarrow p \end{aligned} $$
