Then arrange statements into “if p, then q” format.</p><p>1) You are not a vegetarian if you eat meat.</p><p>2) I ride my bike only if it’s not raining.</p><p>3) Only if you are committed will you stay married.</p><p>Biconditional: “If and Only If” Symbolically: (pq)  (qp) Shortcut: p  q 3 Variations on Conditionals and Equivalance</p><p>Conditional Statement: pq Contrapositive: ~ q~ p </p><p>Inverse: ~ p  ~q Converse: qp </p><p>Ex “I ride my bike only if it’s not raining. ” 1) Write the contrapositive, inverse & converse</p><p>2) Write the negation of the statement (hint: see page 1, negations of other operators)</p><p>Necessary and Sufficient Conditions Cheap Trick:  Sufficient: </p><p>Ex Translate to symbols: Being a chimp is sufficient for not being a monkey.</p><p>Venn Diagram:</p><p> Necessary: </p><p>Ex Translate to symbols: Not being a monkey is necessary for being an ape</p><p>Venn Diagram:</p><p>Ex For each of the statements 1) Assign “p” and “q” to phrases, 2) Translate to symbols, 3) Rewrite the statement in “If p, then q” format, and 4) show the Venn Diagram a) Warm weather is sufficient for no snow. b) Clouds are necessary for snow. 4 Valid Arguments</p><p>Some, All, and None Using Venn Diagrams</p><p>Ex Determine the validity using a Venn Diagram. 1. No vegetarian owns a gun. 2.
