Chapter 3: Problem 72

Determine the truth value for each statement when \(p\) is false, \(q\) is true, and \(r\) is false. \(\sim p \leftrightarrow(\sim q \wedge r)\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The truth value for the statement \(\sim p \leftrightarrow(\sim q \wedge r)\) when p is false, q is true, and r is false is false.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Truth Values

In this step, let's identify the truth values for each proposition: p is false, q is true, and r is false.
02

Apply Negation

Now we begin with evaluating the expression \(\sim p \leftrightarrow(\sim q \wedge r)\). Convert every p, q, and r in the expression with their respective truth values and apply the negation (NOT/\sim) operators first. So, \(\sim p\) will become true (since p is false), \(\sim q\) will become false (since q is true), and r will remain false.
03

Apply Conjunction

Next, we apply the conjunction (AND/\wedge) operation. Thus, the term \((\sim q \wedge r)\) becomes false and false, which is false (since AND operation returns true only when both the operands are true.
04

Apply Biconditional

Lastly, we apply biconditional/IF AND ONLY IF operation which returns true if both the operands are similar. Thus \(\sim p \leftrightarrow(\sim q \wedge r)\) becomes true IF AND ONLY IF false. Since they aren't similar, it returns false.

In this section, we used a variety of examples, including arguments from the Menendez trial, the inevitability of Nixon's impeachment, Spock's (fallacious) logic on Star Trek, and even two cartoons, to illustrate symbolic arguments. a. From any source that is of particular interest to you (these can be the words of someone you truly admire or a person who really gets under your skin), select a paragraph or two in which the writer argues a particular point. (An intriguing source is What Is Your Dangerous Idea?, edited by John Brockman, published by Harper Perennial, 2007.) Rewrite the reasoning in the form of an argument using words. Then translate the argument into symbolic form and use a truth table to determine if it is valid or invalid. b. Each group member should share the selected passage with other people in the group. Explain how it was expressed in argument form. Then tell why the argument is valid or invalid.

Use the standard forms of valid arguments to draw a valid conclusion from the given premises. If the Westway Expressway is not in operation, automobile traffic makes the East Side Highway look like a parking lot. On June 2, the Westway Expressway was completely shut down because of an overturned truck. Therefore, ...

Determine whether each argument is valid or invalid. Some natural numbers are even, all natural numbers are whole numbers, and all whole numbers are integers. Thus, some integers are even.

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 some journalists learn about the invasion, the newspapers will print the news. If the newspapers print the news, the invasion will not be a secret. No journalists learned about the invasion. \(\therefore\) The invasion was a secret.

Use the standard forms of valid arguments to draw a valid conclusion from the given premises. If all electricity is off, then no lights work. Some lights work. Therefore, ...
