Logic Thinking Assingment Presentation

The document contains a logic problem presented in standard form to determine validity. The argument is: If I go to Florida for spring break then I will study. I did not go to Florida for spring break. Therefore I studied. This is represented symbolically as: p → q, ~p, therefore q. The truth table shows the argument is invalid, as the conclusion can be false even if the premises are true. This is called the Fallacy of the inverse.

Use the standard form to determine whether
the argument is valid or in-valid.

Q: If I go to Florida for spring break than I will study. I


did not go to Florida for spring break. Therefore I
studied.
Sol:
Let p represent “ I go to Florida for spring break.”
And q represent “ I will study.”

The argument can be represented symbolically as

p→q First premise


~p Second premise
—————
∴q Conclusion
The truth table for this argument
p q First Premise SSecond Premise Conclusion
p→q ~p q
T T T F T
T F F F F
F T T T T
F F T T F

This argument is in-valid and it is also called Fallacy of the inverse.
