E = Employees go to work.
P = The public will panic.
Q = Infected people are quarantined.
S = There is a swine flu epidemic.

Answer 1

Answer:

Here the answer is $\left ( S\rightarrow Q \right )\wedge P\wedge \left ( S\rightarrow \sim C \right )\wedge \left ( \sim E \right )$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given is:

C = Parents send children to school.

E = Employees go to work.

P = The public will panic.

Q = Infected people are quarantined.

S = There is a swine flu epidemic

Now the given statement is given as follows,

(if S then Q) and P and (if S then (not C) and (not E))

So this can be written in symbolic form as:

$\left ( S\rightarrow Q \right )\wedge P\wedge \left ( S\rightarrow \sim C \right )\wedge \left ( \sim E \right )$
