Summary of Related If-Then Statements Given statement: If p, then q. Contrapositive: lf not q, then not P. Converse: lf q, then p. Inverse: If not p, then not q. A statement and its contrapositive are logically equivalent. A statement is not logically equivalent to its converse or to its inverse.

The relationships just summarized per- mit us to base conclusions on the contrapos- itive of a true if-then statement bvt not on the converse or inverse. For example, sup- pose we accept this statement as true: All Olympic competitors,are athletes. (If a person is an Olympic competitor, then that person is an athlete.)
