Question

What is the truth value of "If yesterday was Tuesday then today is Wednesday"

Answer 1

Answer:

the required truth value of the statement will be:

p              q              p →  q

T               T                T

Step-by-step explanation:

A conditional statement contains two parts:

1. hypothesis (if)
2. conclusion (then)

We know that the truth table for the conditional statement is:

p              q              p →  q

T               T                T

T               F                F

F               T                T

F               F                T

Given the statement that "If yesterday was Tuesday then today is Wednesday" indicates that the hypothesis is true and the conclusion is also true. Meaning that we only get Wednesday if the previous day was Tuesday.

Thus the required truth value of the statement will be:

p              q              p →  q

T               T                T
