Use Euler diagrams to determine whether each argument is valid or invalid. No blank disks contain data. Some blank disks are formatted. Therefore, some formatted disks do not contain data.
Translate the argument below into symbolic form. Then use a truth table to determine if the argument is valid or invalid. It's wrong to smoke in public if secondary cigarette smoke is a health threat. If secondary cigarette smoke were not a health threat, the American Lung Association would not say that it is. The American Lung Association says that secondary cigarette smoke is a health threat. Therefore, it's wrong to smoke in public.
In Exercises 25-36, determine whether each argument is valid or invalid. All natural numbers are whole numbers, all whole numbers are integers, and \(-4006\) is not a whole number. Thus, \(-4006\) is not an integer.
Use a truth table to determine whether the symbolic form of the argument is valid or invalid. $$ \begin{aligned} &p \rightarrow q \\ &\underline{q \rightarrow r} \\ &\therefore \sim p \rightarrow \sim r \end{aligned} $$
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.) There must be a dam or there is flooding. This year there is flooding. \(\therefore\) This year there is no dam.
